Gain valuable insight with invasive building inspections in greater Auckland and Waikato regions. We also cover Taupo, Tauranga and Rotorua.

  • Invasive building inspections are generally carried out internally and investigate inside the building structure. We generally only need to make small holes for access. 2mm for driven probs, 5mm for core samples and 1.5cm for endoscope cameras. 
  • Invasive testing uses specialist equipment like endoscope cameras or moisture probes and core sample collection. 
  • Destructive inspections involve removing wall coverings internally, if possible, to check for the existence of and/or spread of any hidden damage. This allows us to complete detailed reports and provide a scope of works for repairs, remediation and improvements.
