See What the Eye Can’t
Tasmania’s climate creates the perfect conditions for hidden building problems. Between long wet winters, sudden weather changes, and older housing stock, many issues stay out of sight until they cause major damage. Thermal imaging gives you the ability to see what’s really happening inside walls, ceilings, and floors — without any invasive work.
Common Problems Found With Thermal Imaging
Moisture leaks in bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens
Rising damp and hidden water migration
Roof and flashing leaks before stains show inside
Missing or failed insulation leading to heat loss
Overheating electrical circuits or power boards
Mould-prone areas caused by condensation
Why It Matters in Tasmania
Heavy rainfall, chilly nights, and older construction methods make Tasmanian homes particularly vulnerable to dampness, leaks, and insulation issues. Detecting these problems early can save thousands in repair costs, reduce energy bills, and create healthier living conditions.
Benefits for Buyers, Owners, and Managers
- Peace of mind when purchasing property
- Clear evidence for insurance claims and maintenance planning
- Energy efficiency through identifying heat loss and air leaks
- Safety assurance with electrical hotspot detection
Backed by Experience and Accreditation
At Hobart Building Inspections, we use advanced FLIR thermal imaging cameras alongside 40+ years of licensed building experience. All inspections are conducted by Chris Westcott, a CASA-accredited remote pilot and licensed builder, ensuring accurate reporting and complete compliance with Australian standards.
Conclusion
Thermal imaging is no longer just for industrial use — it’s one of the smartest investments Tasmanian property owners can make. Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a home or commercial building, a thermal scan provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions.
