Let’s uncover more of what the Ferret inspection camera can do for you.

When to check Inside Your Walls

There are several occasions where you may benefit from being able to inspect inside your walls. Let’s explore just a few:

1. Looking inside walls for renovations

If you’re looking to upgrade some items in your home or add in additional appliances, being able to see what’s behind your walls before you get into them can help you plan ahead more effectively. Checking for existing components and planning routes for new components is easy when you have a clear look from a Ferret inspection camera.

2. Looking inside walls for repairs

Inspecting inside your walls is a great way to help determine if parts of your home are in need of repair. Water damage, cracks, and other damage can be lurking behind your walls, so know their condition with confidence by taking a look inside. Similarly, a Ferret inspection camera can help you discover pests who may have made homes out of your walls. No matter if you’re subject to termites, rodents, or other pests, a high-quality inspection camera can help you locate and remove these troublesome invaders.

3. Looking inside walls to place new wires

A Ferret inspection camera is right at home helping you get a good look inside your walls when you’re looking to run new wires. Whether you need to run Romex cables for a new outlet or ethernet cables to better equip your home, using an inspection camera to guide the way and help complete the job is an effective way to get the job done.

4. Looking inside walls to diagnose a persistent smell

Getting a look inside trouble areas is made easy with a Ferret inspection camera. From moisture-prone spaces that can harbor mold and mildew to areas that may have trapped expired pests, take a look inside with a Ferret inspection camera which will help to give you peace of mind.

5. Looking inside walls of historic homes

If your home was built in the time of lath and plaster, odds are your home has seen its fair share of years. Getting inside a plaster wall is difficult enough, and repairing it afterward is even more difficult, being much more involved than the typical modern wall finishing of gypsum board. Yet, inspecting these walls can be incredibly important, especially due to their age. Inspecting inside the walls of historic homes allows you to assess the condition of the internal structure to determine whether or not repairs are necessary.

Whether you’re inspecting for water damage, pest infestation, mold buildup, or maybe suspect insulation deterioration or wiring and electrical issues, checking inside walls can often be tedious. You may be planning renovations requiring inspecting behind walls to determine layouts of electrical and plumbing systems. If that’s the case, utilizing an intuitive inspection camera can go a long way in reducing tedium, promoting a safer work environment, and significantly cutting back the time it takes to complete the project.

What you need is an innovative and lightweight inspection camera, the Ferret inspection camera.
