Find Hidden Issues with Infrared Thermal Imaging

Even the best home inspector can’t see through walls! That’s where infrared thermal imaging can help our inspectors find issues lurking beneath the surface of your home. This can include:

• Moisture leaks behind walls and ceilings
• Inefficient insulation costing you money
• Electrical problems that are safety hazards
• Plumbing issues like blockages or faulty radiant heating

Find out exactly what’s going on in your home with residential infrared thermal imaging!

How an Infrared Inspection Works

Infrared inspections utilize specialized cameras, often referred to as FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) or simply IR cameras. These cameras detect variations in heat signatures, creating thermal images that translate temperature differences into color variations. The thermal image uses a color palette to represent different temperature ranges. Generally, brighter colors (red, orange, yellow) indicate hotter areas, while darker colors (blue, black) represent cooler areas. By interpreting these color variations, our inspectors can identify potential problems within your home. For example, moisture buildup or poorly insulated areas may be dark, whereas overheated electrical circuits may be brighter.

Common Issues Found with Thermal Imaging

With infrared home inspections, we can reveal hidden problems like:

• Moisture Detection: Leaking pipes, faulty roofs, and hidden water damage can all be identified with thermal imaging. This helps prevent mold growth, structural issues, and costly repairs.
• Energy Efficiency: Thermal imaging can pinpoint areas of poor insulation, allowing you to identify areas for improvement and save money on your energy bills.
• Electrical Safety: Overheated electrical components can be a fire hazard. Thermal imaging helps identify potential problems before they escalate.
• Plumbing Issues: Blockages, leaks, and faulty radiant heating systems can often be detected through thermal imaging, saving you from unexpected water damage or inefficient heating.

We Provide Detailed Reports and Repair Estimates

Our comprehensive inspection reports detail every finding, big or small. You’ll get clear explanations, high-resolution photos, and thermal images if applicable to visually document any problems. But we go a step further—we also include repair estimates. This allows you to understand the potential financial implications of identified issues.  With a clear picture of both the problem and the potential cost of repair, you can make informed decisions about negotiations, budgeting, and future renovations.
