IBD adds video scope inspection to services
A video scope can be used in a wall cavity or other confined space to help determine hidden details and look for moisture or other problems. The scope can be inserted thru a small diameter hole, so major invasive techniques are not required. Many times the hole can be in an area that will not require refinishing of the surface. Applications include tracing water leaks in walls, ceilings, ductwork, roof curbs and other enclosed spaces. Hidden details such as thru wall flashings can also be verified. Anywhere a 3/8" (9.5mm) hole can be drilled the scope can be used to inspect the interior.
