Pre-Purchase Thermal Audit

Before you close on a property, an independent thermal audit identifies hidden moisture, missing insulation and envelope failures that wouldn't show in a standard home inspection. We produce these for buyers, lenders and conveyancing solicitors, and the reports are structured to inform purchase-price negotiation or post-closing repair budgeting. The work is non-invasive, completes within a couple of hours for most homes, and delivers within 48 hours of the site visit.

Why Moisture Analysis for pre-purchase thermal audit

Moisture Analysis is a sub-division of Leak.ca, the Greater Vancouver leak detection company trusted since 1999. Every site visit is delivered by certified technicians using calibrated equipment, with documented findings formatted for insurance, engineering and procurement use.

We don't sell remediation. Our role is independent detection and assessment — the data you and your professional team work from.

Pairs well with

Clients booking pre-purchase thermal audit often combine it with Building Envelope Imaging or Moisture Mapping — particularly when the underlying issue spans multiple systems or when documentation needs to support a broader investigation.

How to prepare for your visit

1. Document what you're seeing. Photos, dates, sounds, water-bill changes, anything unusual. The more we know in advance, the faster we can locate.
2. Clear access to the suspected area. Move furniture, stored items, and rugs. Non-invasive methods still need clear sightlines.
3. Have system history ready. Recent plumbing work, prior leaks, renovations, age of property, prior insurance claims.
4. Confirm the email for your report. Photo-linked report delivered within 48 hours (often same-day for residential).
