Whether you need building inspection or termite inspection, get in touch with Inspect East Building Inspections today. We use various equipments such as termatrac – radar detection, flashlight, telescoping ladders, rule, spirit level and more during inspection time, which makes our work easy.

2. We use the most up to date equipment when
inspecting a premises. Inspectors use many
types of equipment because their use allows
us to identify unacceptable conditions that
cannot be identified visually.

3. Some types of equipment are used because
they make the inspections easier or faster
for the inspector. Here are some examples
of the equipment we commonly use at
Inspect East.

5. – Accurate Detection and Confirmation of
Termites
– Radar signals specially calibrated to
identify termites.
– Detect termites through timber, brick,
masonry, concrete, plasterboard or drywall,
plastic, plus many other common building
materials (limitations do apply).

6. – Easily determine between the presence of
termites or ants without the need to access
building cavities and voids.
Termatrac requires no physical penetration
of walls and no need for tapping or
prodding. Termites are not disturbed, do not
retreat, and remain active for easy and
accurate detection by the Termatrac Termite
Detection Radar.

7. Eliminate the guess-work in Termite
Detection and Treatment
– Identify the exact locations of termites
– Easily and accurately locate termite nests
and entry points.
– Because the termites have been located
without disturbance, treatment can be
applied while the termites are working
normally.

8. Excess moisture and humidity left within a
building environment or its structural
elements is the cause of damage to
structural materials such as rot, mold
growth, reduced insulation values, failure of
flooring, roofing and wall support.

9. To avoid such issues the building inspector
needs the right diagnostic to carry out their
work professionally and efficiently. The
moisture of the building structure needs to
be measured.
When we use a moisture metre we can
detect elevated moisture levels hidden
behind a variety of materials, such as tile
and vinyl.

10. This feature helps locate plumbing leaks
hidden beneath shower and bathroom
floors. The moisture metre provides a
measurement of those levels.

11. To carry out the building investigation
efficiently and effectively it is also
important to have knowledge of the
building construction components and
materials, as well as the internationally
recognized standards and reference guides
for water damage restoration.

12. Initially, using infrared cameras and
moisture meters, it is necessary to establish
which building materials are ‘wet’, which
are ‘not wet’, and to trace the leak back to
its source. Determining the cause of loss or
point of entry.

14. Home Inspectors are always searching for
the perfect flashlight. Powerful flashlights
are good for seeing in dark areas where
access is difficult or impossible but the
strong reflection can make taking photos
difficult. Most inspectors own several types.

15. We always carry extra batteries and
flashlights as a back up. Losing the main
light unexpectedly can leave an inspector in
a dangerous situation if they have no back
up light.

17. Easy to carry through homes without
bumping into walls and can be carried in
the boot of a car.

19. A rule is a handy tool when checking
handrail or step dimensions for safety
purposes.

21. The spirit level is a device for determining
true horizontal or vertical directions by
centrering a bubble in a glass tube of
alcohol or ether.
We commonly use a level when building
elements or components are out level or
alignment example may be flooring, walls
or windows.

23. The termite donger/inspection tool is a thin
fiber glass rod with a plastic ball at the end
of it. These are tapped onto skiring boards
and timber frames to try and detect
hollowness, which is an indication of
termites.
