What is Thermal Imaging? 

 

Thermal imaging is an innovative technology that can aid a CERTIFIED inspector to help find items not visible to the naked eye.  This service will enhance a home inspection by allowing the inspector to see temperature differentials which can be further evaluated for moisture, hot/cold air intrusion, and possible electrical defects among other things.

​

Thermal Imaging can assist in the detection of:

​

• Water infiltration 

  • Roof leaks located with recent rain fall within 24-48 hours

• Cold / Hot air infiltration

• Excessive moisture in building materials

• Stud / Joist / Beam / Rafter placement 

• Insulation gaps, insufficiency, and unevenness

• Electrical drops, panels, breakers, switches and wire connections

• Heating and cooling duct placement, insulation, air leaks

• Pipe locations
