Inspex Building & Pest Consultants Uses Thermal Imaging in Property Inspections

Quality property inspectors find and suggest Thermal Imaging to be an indispensible method in termite detection and termite treatments. However, TI is not limited to the detection of pest build-up alone; it is used to spot structural flaws. Thermal Cameras can actually discover unseen dangers lurking in the corners of a residential or commercial building and its immediate surroundings. Inspex Building & Pest Consultants, harnessing the efficiency of TI, are able to provide detailed property inspection reports coupled with high-resolution thermal images.

Species of Termites Thriving in Southeast Queensland

The residents of Southeast Queensland often find subterranean termites raging and feeding on furniture and woodwork in their homes - it's almost like a hollywood movie. The sub-species of termites, such as- Coptotermes lacteus, Coptotermes acinaciformis, Nasutitermes exitiosus and Heterotermes ferox, thrive in a temperature between 25 and 30 degrees (Celsius). The climate of this region is favorable for these destructive creatures.

Thermal Cameras See Things That Our Eyes Can’t

Thermal cameras capture things that are invisible to human eyes; they are visible only in the infrared light spectrum.  Image quality depends on resolution and infrared sensitivity. Again, the better the thermal image quality, the more likely we will find the faintest signs of termite infestation. Thermal camera images are equally brilliant in revealing damage caused by rodents, shower leaks, insulation problems and moisture issues.

How TI Works in Termite Detection

An experienced building inspector can detect these silent destroyers with the use of a sensitive and high-resolution Thermal camera. The camera pans across every corner of a building, including trims, skirting, door jambs, doors, window architraves, frames, cupboards, floorings, sub floorings, lawns, gardens, porticos, verandahs, pillars and hanging beams. A little more attention is given to trees, tree stumps, hedges, fencing, dead wood, timber piers and stored timber in damp areas. These are anticipated to be the favorite hide-outs of termites.

The effeciency of TI is undeniable considering it's effectiveness in pinpointing areas with high concentrations of termites that may require immediate renovation of wall sheeting. TI is ideal for identifying maintenance issues before they grow to be worse causing severe damage to your property or the building which is about to become your new home.
