A closer look

The right tools. Thoughtful interpretation.

Technology supports the inspection. Tool use is agreed for the inspection scope.

Moisture meter reading taken on bathroom wall tiles

Follow the signs of moisture.

Moisture readings help investigate areas of concern and guide further checks. They are interpreted alongside visible conditions.

What a reading can tell you

An elevated reading may indicate moisture in a material. It does not, by itself, establish the source or extent of a leak.

Look at temperature patterns.

Surface temperature differences can highlight an area that needs closer investigation. Thermal imaging does not see through walls.

How thermal imaging helps

Patterns can support investigation of moisture or insulation concerns. Findings need confirmation; the tool does not guarantee that all concealed issues will be found.

Secure Pest and Building provided us with a detailed report, prompt service and worked independently with the real estate to organise access. They made the process very easy.

Called Nick and he was very helpful and easy to talk to about arranging the inspection. . As I did not live i the area he said he would call the Real Estate to arrange a time to do the inspection. It all went smoothly and he sent out a very detailed report. Would not hesitate to recommend him. 😊

Hi Nick, Awesome coverage of the premises. The photos are great even showing inside the roof space. You captured and presented the present state of the house well, including items needing an immediate fix as well as the normal items needing monitoring in any house. Thank you for your excellent, detailed and reassuring examination of our future home. Thanks heaps, Peter

AVOID USING THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST! I stupidly purchased a property that had used secure building and pest inspection for the building report and I can’t believe how much stuff was missed. I never should have trusted this terrible building inspection. He listed a major defect that a qualified builder would have noticed, as minor defects and completely missed the issue. I have no idea how he missed some of the things that I’ve found since moving into the property. Absolutely terrible building inspection. I wish I had paid someone to do it properly and not trusted this slacker and his report.

We had Nick from Secure Inspections carry out our building and pest inspection, and we couldn't be happier with the service. The report was amazingly detailed yet incredibly easy to read, packed with clear photos that pointed out every issue directly. What really stood out was the time Nick took after the inspection—he had a long, thorough discussion with us to explain every detail and make sure we understood everything. Professional, thorough, and genuinely helpful. If you need a building and pest inspection, call Nick!
