Cavity Wall Borescope Inspection
Borescope cavity wall inspections involve minimal disruption and damage to your property to quickly inspect and identify problems within your wall cavities by inserting a flexible camera scope through a small bore hole drilled in your external wall into the cavity.
Minimally intrusive Cavity Wall Inspections
Cavity wall inspections using borescope cameras offer thorough examinations without causing extensive wall damage.
A small hole is drilled into the wall and the borescope is inserted into the void to carry out a visual inspection, and a series of photographs and/or videos are taken to assess insulation and detect any issues within the wall or cavity. Borescope inspection can also be used to identify the type of wall behind external rendering, clarifying if it's solid, cavity, system-built, or timber-framed.
This method of inspection can also provide an indicative measurement of the cavity's depth, useful for further investigation by Surveyors regarding hard-to-treat cavity walls.
Following our cavity wall inspection surveys, we produce a comprehensive report. This report summarises the cavity wall insulation material, highlights identified problems, and offers recommendations for remedial action. It includes a table of drill locations, accompanied by images, a written summary, conclusions, and location plots.
