When you’re about to take possession of your dream home or investment unit in Dubai, you want to be sure it’s defect-free. While everything may appear perfect on the surface, hidden issues can cost you thousands if left unnoticed. That’s why Dubai Property Snagging takes inspections further—with advanced thermal imaging and moisture detection tools included in every inspection.
We don’t guess – we measure. And that makes all the difference.
The Problem with Traditional Snagging
Basic visual inspections can only go so far. Many defects are completely hidden from view and won’t show up until long after the handover—often when it’s too late to claim warranty coverage.
Here’s what gets missed in traditional inspections:
- Water leaks inside walls or ceilings
- Poor insulation causing high cooling bills
- Damp spots that lead to mold
- Air leakage from improperly sealed ductwork
- Faulty electrical hotspots behind walls
These are problems you won’t see, but we can detect—with the right tools.
What Makes Our Inspections Different?
We use thermal cameras and digital moisture meters on every job to identify the root cause of hidden issues. Our approach is scientific, measurable, and defensible—perfect for clients who expect transparency and precision.

Tools That Help You Avoid Expensive Surprises
Thermal Imaging
- Detects temperature changes behind walls, ceilings, and floors
- Reveals leaks, insulation gaps, and overheated wires
- Non-invasive and fast
In the image, a Dubai Property Snagging Certified inspector is using a thermal imaging device to check the temperature around the window area of a high-rise apartment. This process helps detect potential issues such as air leaks, poor insulation, or thermal bridging, which can affect cooling efficiency and increase energy costs. By identifying temperature variations, the inspector ensures that the windows are properly sealed and energy-efficient—crucial in Dubai’s climate.
According to InterNACHI’s Infrared Certified® Thermography Inspection Course, thermal imaging is essential for identifying hidden issues like moisture intrusion and energy loss that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
Moisture Meters
Moisture meter measure moisture levels and temperature in wall area.
🔍 What’s Happening:
- The inspector is pressing the sharp sensor pins of the moisture meter into the surface, likely to check for moisture intrusion or water damage—often caused by roof leaks, condensation, or plumbing issues.
- The screen displays:
- Temperature: 21.8°C
- Relative Humidity: 64%
- The top display shows 10.1%, which is likely the wood moisture content reading.
This type of reading is typically taken when:
- There is visible staining or bulging in the ceiling or wall.
- The inspector suspects hidden water damage or leakage behind drywall or plaster.
💡 Why It Matters:
Using a moisture meter helps detect hidden moisture that could lead to:
- Mold growth
- Wall or ceiling damage
- Structural deterioration
This step is an essential part of advanced property snagging or detailed home inspections, especially during handovers or maintenance checks.
- Identify hidden water intrusion and potential mold growth
- Scan bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, ceilings, and walls
- Prevent structural damage before it begins
InterNACHI’s How to Inspect for Moisture Intrusion Course emphasizes the importance of understanding building design and maintenance to effectively manage and prevent moisture-related issues.
These tools aren’t just helpful—they’re essential.
