Whether a project calls for the renovation of an existing room or site or a complete construction job, knowing what’s hidden in walls or buried underground is critical to saving time and money. Cutting corners with store-bought DIY equipment or smartphone apps can lead to unreliable detection and costly mishaps down the road. Haggith’s Structural Scan & Inspection in Honolulu, HI, provides consistent reliability with its state-of-the-art professional structural scan equipment.

While smartphone apps exist to scan for pipes, wiring, studs, and other hidden items, the danger lies in the possibility of incomplete scanning or improper use by the owners. Another potential downfall is having to depend on spotty internet and mobile phone connections. Imagine using a smartphone-based sensor tool to scan for unwanted items only to have the signal drop due to a lack of cell towers in the area.

Luckily, commercial structural scans are conducted by technicians who are trained to operate the equipment with precision and efficiency. This expertise helps pinpoint a wide range of issues, including foundational problems, water leaks, damaged plumbing, and other impediments that can cause dangerous safety problems later.

Another reason why professional structural scan equipment is more reliable than smartphone-based sensor apps is its use of deep, ground-penetrating radar. The scanning solution has the ability to view further underground to spot hidden issues not visible to DIY tools. Before excavating takes place, a structural scan can identify previously-unidentified gas leaks or problems.

From cable detection and concrete scanning to rebar locators and utility locating, the team of certified technicians at Haggith’s Structural Scan & Inspection have the extensive training and skill to conduct expert structural scans. In fact, Dale Haggith, founder of the local company, is certified in the theory and practice of applying sub-surface interface radar in engineering and geophysical investigations.
