Termites and leaks hide behind walls, ceilings and floors. Thermal imaging and moisture metres let us find the clues without lifting a single board.
See what the eye can't
Quick answer: Thermal imaging in Newcastle with Kapow starts at a fixed $198 and includes a detailed digital report you can act on. Most inspections are booked within the week, and you can lock yours in online in about 60 seconds.
Termite activity and the moisture that attracts it often sit out of sight — inside wall cavities, above ceilings and under floors. Thermal imaging cameras pick up the subtle temperature differences these create, helping us zero in on problem areas non-invasively.
We pair thermal imaging with moisture metres and a full visual inspection, so findings are confirmed from more than one angle and you get a clear, reliable picture of your home.
