Detect-A-Leak provides Infrared Building Inspections and other Infrared Thermal Imaging services for home and business from Auckland to Taupo, Hamilton to Tauranga BOP and surrounding areas of NZ. Our Certified Thermographers work in the Auckland, Waikato Bay of Plenty and now Coromandel areas.
Detect-A-Leak provides confidential infrared thermal imaging building inspections and reports using infrared cameras to detect and document anomalies which are often only visible in infrared. Coupled with our many years of experience in the building industry we are now able to quickly find and solve many leaky building moisture related issues and conduct superior pre-purchase and leak investigation inspections. Not only do we find leaks often missed by other inspection companies but we also do our best to find the cause of the leak and give advise on what needs repair or maintenance issues. As well as pre-purchase moisture inspections Detect-a-leak also conducts mould inspections, cladding inspections and many other types of inspections such as electrical fault/switchboard surveys, insulation energy efficiency checks in homes and commercial buildings. The Thermal Imaging camera is great for finding missing or incorrectly fitted insulation which can often be against or over down lights, which is a fire risk. Along with our Infrared cameras we also use the latest leak detection equipment such as non invasive moisture meters, energy monitors and other non-destructive, non-invasive equipment to confirm our findings without causing any damage.

Detect-A-Leak Testimonials
We went unconditional on the house yesterday having negotiated a reduction in the purchase price. Thank you so much for your unbelievably helpful, practical advice which allowed us to make a decision on things. For a non-builder it is very overwhelming to have to make sense of what is important and how bad a problem really is, and your assessment and willingness to talk through the issues with me was a god-send.
We appreciate it very much. Best regards, M.G. 21/12/11

John inspected two apartments that my partner and I were looking to purchase. As we were first home buyers we were very nervous about any issues involving the construction of the building. John was exceptionally thorough in his inspection, and highlighted to us all potential issues. I will get John to inspect any other home I look to purchase in the future and would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home.”
Thanks again for your help. Regards, A.D. 31/03/2010
I just want to thank you for the Detect A Leak report on the property that my daughter was looking at buying. Outwardly it looked good just recently painted inside it looked good. However your inspection identified many places where water was seeping in from outside and from the flat above. I am grateful for your report because it made us aware that we needed to spend substantial time and money fixing problems with rotted window frames and issues caused by the dampness. This gave us the option to get a firm quote for repairs or find another more habitable property. My daughter has learned a valuable lesson to find out and trust the facts born out by your report. The expenditure on your report saved us many thousands of dollars that we would have only discovered over time had she bought the property. Worst of all we may not have found a solution to the problems and we would have bought a property that we could not easily sell. She will use you again.
Thanks and regards B.B. 30/3/2010
I found John to be professional, thorough and courteous. He undertook a detailed and time consuming inspection of my rough-cast house, followed by an excellent written and photographic report. I was relieved there were no major issues. Excellent value for peace of mind.
