"Following remediation, on-going Moisture Detection Probe monitoring gives us confidence we have left our clients with a weathertight building. And when selling, independent probe monitoring proves performance and gives our clients confidence they are selling a weathertight dwelling."

"The use of probes allows the DBH some wriggle room in this regard as they can now acknowledge that while a house without monitoring has to comply in reliance on all things being equal (and hope in uncertain workmanship), the use of probes permanently monitoring performance transfers the power to the owner to react to any water ingress and avoid a code clause failure in the future."

"An Auckland company has a patent on a small object that gets inserted into a hole drilled in your skirting board - usually at least alongside doors and under the corners of windows. This is about 10 mm in diameter and when fitted looks exactly like a shirt button."

we identified the probe investigative system used by Stepup group and within two weeks of confirmation the probes were installed, timber samples had been taken and we were in receipt of a detailed building report that showed us exactly where we had problems and detailed likely cause.

Obviously there is more to compliance than moisture reports, but i am sure being able to present the facts made the compliance process easier for council while they carried out their own inspections and investigation

Having taken the readings you pointed us in the direction of a company who inspected the building and recommended that we carry out, what was in fact over due maintenance, to eradicated what were in fact minor moisture problems. This work was done promptly and from there on your regular readings of the probes proved an even decline in the moisture readings enabling us to market the property again.

Moisture Detection showed professionalism and concern and by monitoring their installed Mdu Probes, gave us factual account of the real moisture level of our building. Not only do we have a satisfactory result for Auckland city but we have an ongoing ability to monitor our building’s moisture content.
