When having a building and pest inspection Brisbane conducted, you want a team that has the best chance of success. Inspectors today have a wide range of technology to draw on to sort out problem areas. http://www.brisbanebuildingandpest.com.au

1. Building Inspection Technology
When it comes to building and pest inspection Brisbane, you will want to hire a team that makes
use of state of the art technology. With the new detection technology available today, inspectors
can be more thorough, they can detect potential problems at earlier stages and they are quicker to
conduct inspections, whilst being less invasive.
The end result for you is a lot of money saved; the earlier problems are detected, the less
expensive they are to fix and the inspection itself is more cost effective because it is quicker.
Here are some of the new technologies that may be employed:
Thermal Imaging Cameras
These work by detecting fluctuations in the temperature of walls. This helps to pinpoint leaks
and water damage and also termites that are living inside the walls or structure of the house.
Remember those old Sci-Fi movies with the X-Ray glasses, the thermal imaging cameras are a
much like X-Ray glasses, which allow the inspector to see if there is a problem within or behind
walls without actually damaging them.
Termatrac
This is an Australian breakthrough and is very effective in detecting termites. It works on a
principle similar to that of radar.
The benefit of Termatrac is that it is non-invasive and it will not disturb any termites nesting in
the building – the last thing you want is to find out where the termites are, only to have them
quickly leave because they are disturbed by the noise.
Moisture Encounter
This is a tool that is suitable for use over the entire building. It can be adjusted according to the
building material used and works by sending through low-frequency electronic signals.
It is used to detect moisture through various finishes and is non-invasive. It causes no surface
damage at all.
Termite Dog
Technically, a termite dog is not a new 'invention' but it is a very effective way of sniffing out
termites. Termite dogs are trained to detect the methane gas and carbon dioxide gas that is given
off by the microorganisms in the termites’ digestive tracts.
Dogs are around 400% more likely to detect termites than a human building inspector because of
their amazing olfactory senses. A human building inspector can only rely on the visual evidence

2. and, in the case of termites, this can be pretty difficult to find, especially if the problem is not far
advanced.
In all, a good building inspector will choose a combination of some or all of the above tools to
determine whether or not you have a problem. Click here for more information on building
