Infrared Thermal Imaging

​

Thermal imaging is a powerful diagnostic tool for home inspections because it can reveal issues that aren't detectable through traditional visual methods. Here are several ways it can help evaluate your house:

1. Detecting Insulation Deficiencies

• Identifies areas where insulation is missing, damaged, or insufficient.

• Helps locate air leaks around windows, doors, and other structural gaps that can lead to energy loss.

2. Locating Water Intrusion and Moisture Problems

• Moisture often shows up as cooler areas due to evaporation or water retention.

• Helps detect leaks in roofs, walls, ceilings, and around plumbing fixtures—even behind drywall.

3. Electrical System Inspections

• Spots overheating components, overloaded circuits, or failing electrical panels before they become hazards.

• Identifies potential fire risks in outlets, switches, or breaker panels.

4. HVAC Performance Assessment

• Verifies proper operation of heating and cooling systems.

• Locates leaks in ductwork or areas where conditioned air escapes.

5. Roof Inspections

• Detects trapped moisture under roofing materials, which could lead to mold or structural decay.

• Finds areas of heat loss due to poor insulation or ventilation.

6. Pest Infestation Detection

• Can identify nests or activity from pests like termites, rodents, or wasps, which may emit different thermal signatures than the surroundings.
