Underfloor Inspections with Cavity Critter.
We have developed technology and procedures to allow us to carry out comprehensive underfloor inspections of subfloor spaces and internal foundations.
Our inspection model has been developed with health and safety in mind, while maintaining our high-quality imaging, mapping, and reporting practices.
Underfloor Inspections
Our underfloor inspection service allows a thorough inspection to be carried out from above ground in most circumstances, using our specially designed “Cavity Critter,” removing the need for personnel to gain access to the subfloor spaces and provides wide coverage of subfloor spaces and structures.
The video data gathered during your underfloor inspection is processed into an easy to follow report by an experienced, licensed category 2 builder. Most reports contain between 80-130 high quality images & include a plan of the house/dwelling and shows which direction every still was taken from and the location in the subfloor cavity. Reports are completed within 5 days of the inspection taking place, and sent to the client via email upon payment.
Subfloor inspections take approximately 45mins each. All homes within 20kms of the city centre that are up to, and no more than 300 square meters and are one dwelling with reasonable complexity are $790 inc. GST. Over that, we assess the job and clear with the client any extra charge. The robot does require a manhole at least 300mm by 300mm for access. If for some reason there is no manhole we can, at a cost of $132.25 inc GST, cut a manhole in an appropriate place.
Limitations
Services and pipes laying on the ground greater than 50mm diameter can restrict our access to areas
Foundation walls left in place from extensions to the home
Subfloors with less than 110mm clearance
Flooding
Building Rubble and Debris
We do our best to mitigate these limitations and are usually able to capture information beyond these obstructions due to our extremely effective lighting and camera systems.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
I’m not sure where we would be without Cavity Critter!
“We’ve been amazed by the clarity of the photos and video taken by Cavity Critter remote control buggy. The buggy easily transversed the rubble and liquefaction under our house to fully inspect every pile and capture it all on film. The level of damage and repairs required are clear for all to see.”
