Thermal imaging is a non-invasive, non-destructive way of evaluating conditions when performing a home inspection. Defects such as moisture / water defects from roof and wall leaks, overheating and unsafe electrical defects, air leaks, missing insulation all can affect the surrounding temperature. Thermal / Infrared imaging / photography can reveal these and other issues that cannot be seen by the naked eye or with conventional or digital photography.
​
However, it’s important to understand thermal imaging does have its limitations. Just like general home inspections, thermal imaging can’t predict future issues. And it can’t completely eliminate the risk of concealed damage.
​
Thermal imaging can help pinpoint areas for further evaluation, like energy loss, moisture, electrical hot spots, flue leaks and even some pests.
Moisture and Leaks Can’t Hide
Our best inspection – for an additional fee (call for quote). Considerations for time of day and other preparations are needed. The Whole House Thermal Imaging Inspection can identify moisture intrusion and leaks can’t hide from infrared scanning. Fresh paint can cover up stains, but moisture stands out.
Does your home leak? We can scan to locate and confirm leaks with professional Infrared equipment and industry standard moisture meters.
Finding Hidden Safety Risks
Have you had your electrical panels scanned? Do you have defects that have not yet become obvious such as overheating connections and other electrical faults? Under load, conductors and terminals may heat up to unsafe temperatures which go unnoticed by most Home Inspectors. We scan all panels in the home under load, creating a clear view of your electrical system’s health.
Hidden Hot Spots in Electric Panel can be very dangerous
Saving You Money on Energy Costs
Missing Insulation and energy loss, such as leaking ducts or unsealed gaps rob you of your energy dollars. Brand-new construction homes often have areas of missing/removed insulation which can cause cold spots in the home, as well as weatherization issues which can create drafty areas around the house. Identify these hidden problems with ease with a Whole House Thermal Imaging Inspection.
