Accurately Identify Your Property’s Wall Construction & Insulation
A Borescope Survey is a quick and effective method for inspecting cavity walls, insulation, and hidden defects without causing damage. Whether you need to determine wall construction, check for insulation defects, or investigate potential damp issues, this survey provides clear insights with minimal disruption.
What is a Borescope Survey?
A Borescope Survey involves making a small drill hole (typically 10mm) in an external wall to insert a tiny camera. This allows us to visually inspect the wall cavity, insulation, and structural condition without needing extensive invasive work. This survey is useful for:
- Identifying Wall Type – Determine if walls are solid, cavity, or timber-framed.
- Checking Insulation Presence & Condition – Assess whether cavity wall insulation is installed, missing, or deteriorating.
- Detecting Damp & Moisture Issues – Investigate whether insulation is retaining moisture.
- Confirming Suitability for Retrofit Measures – Ensure walls are appropriate for additional insulation or remedial work.
