Repair Check & Re-scan

The repair is done. Is the wall drying?

The inspector returns to the same marked spots and repeats the readings and thermal images. ₹1,999 per visit for up to 6 marked areas, plus GST.

Direction, not a final answer

A soaked wall can take weeks to dry after the source is fixed.

So a single re-scan shows which way a wall is going. The before-and-after page shows the original reading, the new reading, the change and a note. A reading still near the original after a long dry spell suggests the source is still active; a falling reading suggests the repair is working. Readings near the dry reference mean the wall has caught up.

When it's useful

Three moments a re-scan saves money.

  1. 01

    Before paying the balance on a resale flat

    The seller said the bathroom above was repaired. See whether the ceiling is drying before the last payment.

  2. 02

    Before closing a builder complaint

    Record whether each repaired defect in your Defect Claim Pack is actually drying.

  3. 03

    Before starting interiors

    Wardrobes and panelling hide a wall for years. Check it first.

About re-scans

Ask an inspector

How soon after a repair should I book?

Give the wall some dry weather after the source is fixed. A soaked wall dries slowly, so one re-scan shows direction, not a final answer.

What does a re-scan cover?

Up to 6 marked areas from your original report, re-read at the same spots with the same instruments and a fresh dry reference.

Can you re-scan a flat you did not inspect first?

Yes, but without an original report there is nothing to compare against, so we would book it as a regular inspection.

Had a repair done? See if it worked.

Same spots, same instruments, a fresh dry reference, compared with your original report.
