Pre-Purchase & Pre-Sale Building Inspections | Commercial Inspections
Thermal imaging is essential for identifying issues that can’t be seen during a standard visual inspection. Whether you’re buying or selling, our inspections provide clear, actionable insights to ensure there are no surprises.
We identify hidden moisture ingress, roofing and plumbing leaks, missing or degraded insulation, and cold spots. Our technology is especially effective for monolithic cladding homes, where water ingress may occur behind sealed surfaces.
For pre-sale inspections, vendors gain the opportunity to detect and address issues early, protecting the value of the home and increasing buyer confidence. For buyers, this service offers peace of mind - revealing hidden problems that could become costly after settlement.
CITIS also provides commercial thermography for larger buildings, operational facilities and complex environments where performance, maintenance planning and risk management matter. Commercial thermal inspections can assist in identifying concealed moisture issues, roof leak pathways, heat loss, insulation deficiencies and abnormal thermal patterns in buildings where early detection and clear reporting are essential. This work is particularly relevant for commercial property owners, facilities managers, engineers, insurers and project teams seeking more than a generic scan and requiring practical, decision-useful diagnostic information.
Commercial Electrical Compliance | Christchurch & Canterbury
CITIS provides Certificate of Periodic Verification (COV) inspections carried out by pur Registered Electrical Inspector in accordance with AS/NZS 3019, integrated with certified switchboard thermal imaging.
Our inspections assess switchboards and associated electrical infrastructure to verify electrical safety and compliance, while identifying abnormal temperature differentials that may indicate:
• High-resistance or loose terminations
• Overloaded circuits
• Deteriorated conductors
• Failing protective devices or components
These defects are not always detected during routine visual checks but can present significant fire, safety and operational risk.
COV and thermal inspections are commonly required by insurers, property managers, councils and commercial facility operators.
Suitable for warehouses, cool stores, commercial buildings, schools, childcare centres, rest homes and hospitality premises.
Annual or biennial COV scheduling is available to support ongoing insurance and regulatory compliance.
Targeted Leak Investigation | Fast, Non-Invasive Results
When you suspect a leak but don’t want to rip into walls or ceilings, thermal imaging is your first step. Our inspections quickly pinpoint hidden moisture issues without invasive damage - saving you time, money, and guesswork.
We assist homeowners, landlords, and property managers in detecting the source of unexplained dampness, water staining, condensation, and mould. Our moisture reports are detailed, objective, and often used to confirm the need for repairs, or support insurance or tenancy claims.
Whether it’s a leaking shower, roof, pipe, or cladding system - we’ll identify the affected areas and provide clarity on the extent of the issue.
INSULATION VERIFICATION & ENERGY EFFICIENCY SCANS
Thermal imaging reveals missing, compressed or under-performing insulation within walls, ceilings and floors. Our scans identify areas of heat loss and thermal inefficiency, helping improve comfort and building performance without invasive testing.
Thermal imaging allows accurate mapping of underfloor heating circuits without cutting into floors. We identify pipe layouts, cold spots, blockages and performance irregularities - ideal for renovations, drilling preparation and system troubleshooting.
