CHECKHOUSE TECHNICAL DUE DILIGENCE
CHECKHOUSE was the first company in Portugal to provide Property Technical Diagnosis services, allowing owners, companies or managers of condominiums to know the true state of their apartment, villa, common areas of the condominium and other properties.
Checkhouse Technical Due Diligence
A Checkhouse performs a Technical Property Diagnosis, a specialized service to assess the condition of any property -- whether an apartment, a house, or the common areas of a building or condominium.
This rigorous diagnosis includes the analysis of various specialties, ensuring a complete and detailed assessment:
- Civil Construction and finishes
- Electrical Installations and telecommunications
- Water and Sewage Networks and gas
- Thermal Insulation
- Acoustic Insulation
- Heating and HVAC Systems (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning)
After conducting the inspection, Checkhouse prepares a Technical Report complete. This document, delivered to the client, details the condition of the property at the time of assessment, identifying anomalies and non-conformities. Furthermore, the report presents the corrective measures necessary to solve the identified problems and also a set of preventive measures to prevent them from occurring in the future.
The advantages of Technical Diagnosis
- Documentary Evidence in Court: In case of litigation, our report serves as documentary evidence and a robust technical argument, detailing anomalies and non-conformities to defend your interests.
- Technical Argument for Warranty Activation: If your property is less than 5 years old, the report is a powerful tool to activate the warranty with the builder, pressuring them to correct detected construction defects.
- Specifications for Construction Works: The document functions as an impartial specifications book, meticulously describing the recommended interventions. This allows you to request precise and comparable quotes from different contractors, facilitating the management and planning of any construction work.
With the Technical Property Diagnosis, Checkhouse gives you the information and tools you need to protect your investment.
Detection of Leaks
Water infiltrations are one of the most frustrating and costly problems you can face. The discomfort of a damaged home is aggravated by the uncertainty of the problem's origin, which often leads to destructive and ineffective interventions, with the need to demolish walls and ceilings with no guarantee of success.
A Checkhouse offers an effective solution to this problem. Through advanced diagnostics, we can identify the exact origin of the infiltration without resorting to destructive methods. Using a variety of tests and specialized equipment, we detect the leak, whether caused by rainwater or problems in the water and sewage networks.
With the detailed report from Checkhouse, you will know precisely where the problem is located. Thus, you will only need to hire a professional to intervene at the exact location of the leak, avoiding unnecessary works and saving time, money and inconvenience.
Equipment
The precision of Checkhouse's technical diagnosis results from the combination of a team of specialists with decades of experience in the sector and the use of cutting-edge technology. Our vast range of state-of-the-art equipment allows us to perform the most complex and thorough tests, ensuring a complete and rigorous diagnosis.
Among our technology, the following stand out:
• Thermal Cameras: To identify insulation, moisture or infiltration problems in a non-destructive manner.
• Video Probes and Inspection Robot: Filming equipment that allows us to inspect the interior of inaccessible pipes and ducts, locating blockages or damage.
• Drone: Safe and detailed access to high or hard-to-reach locations, such as roofs and facades.
• Hydrogen Detector and Echo Locator: Essential tools for the precise detection of leaks in pipes hidden within the property's structure.
Sound Level Meter, Noise Generator and Percussion Machine: For a rigorous assessment of acoustic insulation, measuring its effectiveness.
• Multimeter, Gas Manometers, Thermo-hygrometer and Anemometer: A set of measuring instruments that allows us to accurately verify the performance of electrical, gas, temperature, humidity and ventilation systems.
With Checkhouse, your property is analyzed with maximum precision, ensuring that no detail goes unnoticed.
