Moisture Testing

Assess Your Risk

If you have a concern about moisture ingress or dampness, Property Solutions Inspections can undertake moisture testing of inside of external walls and ceilings under external decks.

Moisture Meters

The moisture meter used by Property Solutions Inspections is a TROTEC T660 – used in its non-invasive mode. While this mode is deemed non-conclusive, it can be a good indicator of the presence of moisture and further investigation would be required to determine the source of the reading. It is important to be aware that a lack of moisture indication, does not confirm that a property doesn’t have moisture issues.

The condition and treatment type of any internal timbers is not known without an invasive or intrusive (opening the wall) test. We do not undertake invasive testing.

Further investigation will be recommended where there is sufficient evidence and concern that there are signs of severe moisture penetration. Invasive investigation of the home can only be undertaken with the written permission of the Home Owner – ensure the provider you choose has the correct credentials to carry out this kind of investigation. Property Solutions Inspections does not do invasive moisture or specific weathertightness investigation.

Our inspectors are accredited surveyors with BOINZ (Building Officials Institute of New Zealand)
