A small detail that can cause big problems.

Break folds along roof valleys play an important role in preventing wind-driven rain from entering the roof space.

When they're missing or incorrectly formed, water can overflow the valley edges, potentially causing leaks and damage to internal building materials.

It's details like these that we look for during our new construction inspections.

🔍 What can a thermal imaging camera reveal during a building inspection?

✅ The Pros: Helps identify temperature anomalies associated with potential moisture intrusion, missing insulation, air leaks and electrical overheating.

❌ The Cons: It can't see through walls, doesn't directly detect moisture and can produce misleading results if conditions aren't suitable.

🏠 The Verdict: A valuable inspection tool, but it's not a crystal ball! Thermal imaging findings require professional interpretation and, where necessary, further testing.

At Jim’s Building Inspections, we know the difference between a temperature anomaly and a genuine defect.

Precision matters when it comes to new construction!

Using our Nivcomp Digital Level, we accurately measure floor height variations throughout a new build, identifying uneven surfaces, discrepancies in slab levels, roofing levels and wall levels.

Just because it's brand new doesn't mean it's built right!
