What is Thermal Imaging?

Thermal imaging, also known as infrared thermography, is a cutting-edge technology that allows us to see and measure heat. By using a thermal camera, we can detect temperature variations on surfaces that are invisible to the naked eye. With the proper certifications and experience using this technology, our ability to uncover hidden issues within a home are enhanced.

How Thermal Imaging Benefits Your Home Inspection



1. Detect Hidden Moisture and Leaks: Thermal imaging can identify moisture problems, leaks, and water intrusion behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings. Catching these issues early can prevent costly repairs and potential mold growth.



2. Identify Insulation Deficiencies: By highlighting areas of heat loss, thermal imaging helps us pinpoint missing or inadequate insulation. Proper insulation is crucial for energy efficiency and maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures.



3. Uncover Electrical Hazards: Thermal imaging reveals hot spots in electrical systems that could indicate potential fire hazards or overloaded circuits. Identifying and addressing these issues early can ensure the safety of the home and its occupants.



4. Assess Heating and Cooling Systems: We can evaluate the performance of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems by detecting irregular temperature distributions. This helps in identifying inefficiencies and potential malfunctions.



5. Discover Structural Defects: Temperature anomalies can indicate structural issues such as compromised roofing, foundation cracks, or poor construction practices. Thermal imaging allows us to detect these problems without invasive measures.
