Are you looking for underfloor inspection services in Christchurch? At Character Builders, we have the equipment and capabilities to complete underfloor inspections, so we can help. We also have extensive experience providing this specialist service to home and property owners just like you.
Most NZ homes built pre 1970 have a subfloor cavity, and the further back you go in time, the closer they were built to the ground and so access is most often quite limited. Health & safety needs and current legislation also informs “working in confined space”, and not forgetting the practical and reasonable need for a person to gain access.
Character Home Check provide a subfloor robotic camera service, which typically allows our specialist operator to assess and photograph in very confirmed spaces. The information this technology provides, coupled with external foundation and floor level information will typically create a wider picture and more complete understanding of the foundation condition and repair needs.
We can usually complete underfloor inspections without the need for full access to the space under your floor. As a result, the inspection is quick and causes minimal disruption or disturbance.
We can provide our underfloor home check services with our robotic camera on most types of Christchurch home and underfloor space. The things we’ll check include:
