Infrared Home Inspection Services

Infrared Inspection (Thermal Camera)

Included in all inspections.

A thermal camera is an invaluable tool for home inspectors. It uses infrared technology to detect heat patterns and temperature differences, which can reveal a range of issues that might not be visible to
the naked eye.

Water Leaks: Thermal imaging can spot areas where water has infiltrated walls or ceilings, even if there’s no visible mold or staining yet. Wet areas often appear cooler than their surroundings on a thermal image.

Inconsistent Attic Insulation: Poor or uneven insulation can lead to heat loss or gain. Thermal cameras can show areas where insulation is missing or insufficient, helping to pinpoint spots where energy efficiency could be improved.

Hot Spots in Electrical Systems: Overheating electrical components or wiring can be detected as hot spots on a thermal image. This can help prevent potential fire hazards by identifying issues before they become serious problems.
