We can make the invisible visible

At HS Building Inspections, we provide a comprehensive suite of services designed to identify current defects and prevent future costs. We utilise advanced thermal imaging as a standard diagnostic tool to ensure our assessments go beyond a simple visual check.

Pre-Purchase and Pre-Sale Inspections

Buying or selling a home is a major commitment. Our detailed inspections follow the NZS 4306:2005 standard to provide a clear picture of a property’s condition.

  • For Buyers: Gain the confidence to negotiate or walk away from a “lemon.”
  • For Sellers: Identify and fix issues before they appear in a buyer’s report, ensuring a smoother sale process.

 

Advanced Thermal Imaging and Moisture Detection

We specialise in making the invisible visible. Using high-specification infrared cameras and non-invasive moisture meters, we can identify:

  • Hidden water ingress and roof leaks.
  • Cold spots indicating missing or slumped insulation.
  • Early signs of electrical overheating.
  • Sub-floor dampness and ventilation issues.

 

Electrical Periodic Verification

As registered specialists, we provide electrical safety and insurance compliance checks. This service is essential for older Auckland homes and for Commercial property owners requiring verification for insurance renewals. We check the health of the wiring, switchboards, and general electrical fittings to ensure they meet current safety standards.

Specialist Compliance and Health Checks

  • Weathertightness Reports: A focused assessment of the building envelope to identify risks of water penetration.
  • Insulation Audits: Verifying that the property meets current healthy homes standards.

 

Meth (P) Testing

Professional, laboratory-standard screening to ensure the property is free from chemical residue.
