Hi-Tech Inspection Equipment
At Twinspectors, we always put the very best and most relevant kinds of technology to work for you. This is especially true when it comes to our pest inspections. One of the most troublesome things about detecting pests is that they are so tiny and clever about staying hidden that they can go undetected for years. Poorly equipped inspection companies can easily overlook the presence of termites, ants and other pests. Fortunately at Twinspectors, we have cutting-edge technology at our disposal.
Moisture Encounter
Moisture is one of the biggest threats to a building’s structural integrity. All too often, it’s not detected until it can be seen with the naked eye. By that time, extreme amounts of damage have probably been done. Undetected moisture is a conducive condition to termite activity so detecting moisture or leaks is a vital component to a building and pest inspection.
Thermal Imaging
Moisture detection isn’t the only thing that thermal imaging technology brings to the table. It’s also an invaluable tool in the detection of termites. Termite sub-nests and damage can be detected by these extremely sensitive cameras. Of course, thermal imaging technology alone isn’t enough to perform an adequate building or pest inspection. When it’s used along with other top forms of technology, though, it can dramatically increase an inspector’s accuracy, making it easier for homeowners to follow up with the right repairs and eradication techniques. Having a complete understanding of where a building stands in terms of structural integrity and pest infestations is critical; thermal imaging technology is a priceless tool in producing thorough and meaningful reports.
Radar Detection
We use radar technology with a Termatrac to look through masonry, bricks, timber, plaster and boards without inflicting any damage – and without alerting termites to our presence. This technology was invented and designed by Australians.
We use a Termatrac T3i which has revolutionized the practice of professional termite detection by combining the three critical technologies required to competently and efficiently detect, locate and confirm the presence of termites. We are using Termatrac’s latest patented Termite Detection Radar, Advanced Remote Thermal Sensor with Laser Guide and if required, Advanced Moisture Sensor.
Borescope Camera
A borescope or "inspection camera" uses a flexible tube to access difficult or small spaces. The end of the insertion tube includes a light that makes it possible to capture video or still images deep within the space which is a huge benefit to our inspections.
When we believe this specialised inspection is necessary it has to be pre-arranged with the owner of the property because a small amount of damage is inflicted on the wall to insert the camera. This is called an invasive inspection and will also incur an extra cost.
