CITIS specialises in thermal imaging building inspections in Christchurch and across the South Island, particularly for pre-purchase and pre-sale property assessments and large, complex commercial buildings.
Pre-Purchase & Pre-Sale Thermal Building Inspections | Christchurch
Specialist independent thermal imaging inspections carried out by a highly experienced Level 2 certified thermographer for buyers, vendors, building inspectors, engineers and property professionals across Christchurch and the South Island.
Thermal imaging provides an additional diagnostic layer beyond a standard visual inspection, helping identify concealed moisture concerns, abnormal thermal patterns and insulation irregularities that may not yet be obvious on the day. Findings are interpreted carefully and, where appropriate, supported by moisture meter readings to provide clearer direction on areas requiring further attention.
Particularly relevant for properties with leak history, suspicious cold areas, complex building details and higher-risk construction features requiring closer scrutiny.
We help identify:
-
Concealed moisture and water ingress patterns
-
Roofing and plumbing leak indicators
-
Insulation gaps and heat-loss anomalies
Electrical Compliance Inspections | Christchurch and Canterbury
Electrical compliance inspections are carried out by Registered Electrical Inspector Christopher Preston, with thermal imaging undertaken by a highly experienced Level 2 certified thermographer to assist in identifying overheating components, abnormal thermal behaviour and developing electrical risk within switchboards and associated infrastructure.
This service is particularly relevant for commercial sites, facilities teams, engineers and higher-demand environments where early fault identification, practical risk management and clear compliance documentation matter. It combines formal electrical inspection with specialist thermal diagnostic support, providing a more complete view of installation condition than routine observation alone.
Our inspections assess:
-
Electrical switchboards and distribution boards
-
Overheating components and electrical hotspots
-
Protective devices and circuit protection systems
Targeted Leak Investigation | Commercial & Residential | South Island Wide
Suspected a leak but not sure where it’s coming from? Thermal imaging provides a smart, non-invasive way to narrow moisture-related concerns before cutting into walls, ceilings or linings unnecessarily.
Our targeted leak investigations carried out by a highly experienced certified thermographer, helping narrow moisture-related concerns before unnecessary destructive work begins.
Our inspections help identify concealed moisture patterns within walls, ceilings and building junctions, with thermal findings interpreted alongside moisture meter readings where appropriate. This provides clearer direction for owners, builders, plumbers, engineers and building consultants when the next step matters.
Particularly useful for:
-
Unexplained dampness and staining
-
Hard-to-isolate leak sources
-
Condensation and mould-related concerns
Underfloor Heating Inspection & Thermal Mapping
Underfloor heating thermal mapping carried out by a highly experienced Level 2 certified thermographer, helping locate heating circuits, identify cold zones and assess apparent system performance without cutting into tiles or flooring.
This service is commonly used before drilling, floor levelling, renovation work or fixture installation, where damaging embedded heating elements can create unnecessary cost, delay and rework. It is equally useful for owners, builders and contractors wanting greater clarity around heating layout and performance before work begins.
Commonly used by:
-
Builders and renovators
-
Floor levelling contractors
-
Owners investigating heating performance
Cool Store & Facility Thermal Assessments
Specialist thermal imaging inspections carried out by a highly experienced Level 2 certified thermographer to identify temperature inconsistencies, insulation weaknesses, heat ingress and thermal loss within cool rooms, freezer spaces and facility environments.
In temperature-controlled spaces, early identification of uneven thermal performance can support product integrity, operational efficiency and maintenance planning before larger failures develop. CITIS has experience working across commercial, government and defence facilities in New Zealand and overseas, where reporting clarity, operational awareness and a high standard of diagnostic work are essential.
Useful for:
-
Cold loss and heat ingress
-
Insulation and door seal deficiencies
-
Uneven thermal performance across controlled spaces
For Large Facilities & Complex Buildings
Specialist thermal imaging inspections for commercial buildings, large facilities and operational environments where performance, risk management and clear reporting matter.
CITIS provides targeted thermal investigations for insurers, risk managers, engineers, facilities teams and commercial property stakeholders seeking more than a generic scan. Our work includes environments associated with Apollo Projects, NZDF, Foodstuffs, DHL and Sealord, along with large commercial facilities where roof leaks, moisture ingress, thermal loss and concealed building issues require a more focused diagnostic approach.
This service is particularly suited to:
-
Commercial buildings and large facilities
-
Roof leak and moisture ingress investigations
-
Hotels and complex accommodation environments
-
Insurer, risk and maintenance-led investigations
