Building investigations and inspections in Southern Finland

Pre-purchase building inspections

A pre-purchase building inspection provides the buyer and seller with independent information about the building’s condition, damage, risks and repair needs. We inspect detached houses, summer cottages and other holiday homes — including properties on islands and other unusually demanding locations. A written report is provided after the inspection.

Moisture measurements

We carry out surface moisture surveys in wet areas, inspections of suspected structural locations and structural moisture measurements using the borehole method. The measurements are planned according to the property and the purpose of the investigation. The results and conclusions are reported to the agreed extent.

Drainage pipe inspections

A camera inspection of drainage pipes can identify the condition of the pipework, blockages, damage and water flow. It is suitable both for investigating observed moisture problems and for preventive inspection of the drainage system. Findings and any recommendations for further measures are reported to the agreed extent.

Structural condition investigations

Structural condition investigations determine damage in structures, its causes and extent, and the repair measures required. Investigations may include exploratory openings, moisture and microbial sampling, and examinations of crawl spaces, façades, balconies, windows, roofs and other building components. The scope is always planned according to the building, the observed problems and the client’s needs.

Indoor air quality and moisture investigations

We investigate the causes of indoor air quality problems and moisture damage systematically using building documents, user observations, structural and ventilation investigations, measurements and the necessary samples. A clear report presents the findings, conclusions and recommendations for further measures.

Condition assessments and long-term maintenance planning

A condition assessment provides an overall view of the technical condition of the building’s structures and HVAC and electrical systems, required repairs and their timing. Where necessary, we prepare a long-term maintenance plan with cost estimates. The service is suitable for individual buildings, large property portfolios and demanding properties in the archipelago.

Asbestos and hazardous materials surveys

We carry out asbestos and hazardous materials surveys for the planning of renovation and demolition work. The survey includes the necessary exploratory openings and material samples, as well as a report identifying the hazardous materials found, their locations and the required further measures.
