Thermal Image Camera for building inspections

Thermal image camera is detecting anomolies that are not visible to the naked eye.

Thermal image testing

Thermal Image Testing detects anomalies that are not viable to the naked eye. Detecting termites can be a difficult manual process. Traditional methods have stood the test of time however, new technology has changed how things are done for the better.

In the past, identifying what was behind a wall involved drilling into building materials and knocking or tapping against timber structures in an effort to disturb the termites or listening for their distinctive noises while on the move.  DedAnt now uses the latest technology for inspections, including thermal imaging cameras, motion sensors and moisture detectors, this increases accuracy when it comes to detecting live termites.

Thermal camera for finding termites

Thermal image cameras allow our technicians to identify swarms of termites  through walls using infrared imaging. A thermal imaging camera can assist with finding termite nests hidden behind walls.  It picks up heat, so if there is a large swarm of live termites behind a wall, the camera will show a hot spot that should not be there.

In addition, the camera is useful for finding pooling water or wet areas behind walls that shouldn't be there.  Anywhere there is damp timber, is an ideal location for termites to feast.

What can a thermal camera detect?

In the right conditions, a thermal camera can detect the following;

  • Termite nest (with large community of live termites) behind walls
  • Roof leaks
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Dampness behind walls and under floors
  • Poorly installed insulation in walls and ceilings
  • Hot spots from faulty electrical wiring in walls

Dedant use the latest technology

Thermal camera

Flir Thermal Imaging Camera

The Flir thermal camera (FLIR E8- XT)  is the perfect tool for diagnosing temperature anomalies inside a building.  This equipment  will indicate  hot spots and cold spots, possibly indicating a large termite nest hidden in the wall cavity, leaking pipes behind a wall and leaking showers.

Termatrac

Termatrac T3i All Sensor

Using radar technology, relative and direct moisture sensor as well as a thermal sensor, the T3i All Sensor was designed to help operators locate, confirm and track the presence and extent of termite and other pest activity. Used with an invasive inspection to determine termite activity.

Moisture meter

Tramax Moisture Meter

The Tramax moisture meter is the leading tool in moisture detection.  High moisture levels could indicate leaking pipes, poor ventilation, ineffective drainage, leaking roof or defective flashing.  Damp timber within wall cavities is also very attractive to termites.

I recently used Dedant pest and building inspection service and was very impressed with the overall experience. The inspection was thorough, professional, and detailed, and they took the time to explain their findings clearly. The report was comprehensive and easy to understand, which gave me much better confidence in making my property purchase decision. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional pest and building inspection service.

I've used Dedant twice and both times they provided a comprehensive building and pest report that was easy for me to understand. Price was competitive and turnaround from the time I provided my details online to the actual inspection the first time was less than 24hrs, and the second time I used them I provided my details on Friday afternoon and the inspection was two work days later. Dedant corresponded directly with the real estate agent to organise so I didn't have to do anything in regards to communicate between parties. If memory serves me correctly I received the report about 2.5hs or so after the actual insection. Overall I'm happy with the service provided.

Steve performed a pre settlement inspection for our son who is buying his 1st property. Steve did an excellent, very thorough job. He was also more than happy to chat with us after the inspection to answer any queries we had. Brilliant job.

We had a building and pest inspection from Dedant and were very impressed from start to finish. I called to get a quote and was provided all required information include an email with a booking link. I requested a booking Saturday for a Wednesday (very short notice) given Monday was the Logan public holiday. I got the booking email confirmed on Monday and it had an easy platform to send and receive messages to the company without having to call. The technician arrived promptly and we left him to do what he needed, he was extremely thorough and was at the property for just over 2 hours. He was knowledgeable about every issue and all questions we asked, talked us through the exact process required for termite barriers and provided all measurements to get us a quote. The quote and report was in depth and received very promptly. We would not hesitate to use this company again and will absolutely use them to do the termite barriers when we move in.

Very happy with the service as a whole and was super easy to book. Building and pest inspection was in great detail and noticed things I wouldn't even think to look at. The 70+ page report came back the same day (~6hrs after). Stephen was great to deal with and was happy to answer any follow up questions and concerns I had.

We used dedant to inspect this property when we bought it and they helped us get a bunch of things repaired before we moved in which saved us a huge pile of money. And we just used them for a presale inspection to now sell our home. They have been professional, very helpful. Fast to communicate and really gone above and beyond to be really helpful in dealing with on both occasions and I will definitely be using them in the future. Very grateful for their hard work for us.
