Weathertightness Inspections — Document Every Detail

New Zealand's leaky building crisis affected an estimated 42,000 homes built between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s. While the worst of the crisis has passed, weathertightness remains one of the most critical aspects of any building inspection in NZ. Cladding failures, inadequate flashings, poor window detailing, and failed sealants continue to cause moisture damage in buildings old and new.

Weathertightness inspections are inherently detail-heavy. You're documenting specific cladding systems, flashing configurations, junction details, penetrations, sealant conditions, and moisture readings — often across dozens of locations on a single building. The traditional approach of photographing everything on your phone, then spending hours at the office matching photos to findings in a Word document, is painfully slow.

InspectPro lets you document weathertightness findings as you inspect. Take a photo of a cracked sealant joint, annotate it with an arrow pointing to the failure, add a comment about the location and severity, and move on to the next finding. Every photo is filed in the correct section of your report automatically.

For invasive moisture testing, annotate your photos with moisture meter readings and probe locations. Document the exterior cladding system, note the building age and construction type, and provide your assessment of the building envelope's performance — all structured, all photographic, all professional.

Whether you're conducting a pre-purchase weathertightness assessment, a targeted moisture investigation, or a full building envelope review, InspectPro gives you the structure and speed to deliver thorough reports without the office grind.
