thermal imaging
Why is thermal imaging important?
Thermal imaging can help identify underlying isuues such as water leaks, electrical hotspots, inefficient insulation, unwanted pests, and more.
Although thermal imaging doesn’t let inspectors physically see through the walls of your home, this technology certainly provides some extra insight into a home inspection. Using thermal imaging, we can learn more about the current state of the home and you will receive a more thorough report.
Problems with Electrical Systems
Electrical systems within the home should always have a relatively consistent temperature. If the infrared camera detects overheated pockets, this may be a sign of an electrical hotspot. Electrical issues shouldn’t be treated lightly as they could start a fire in your home. They should be addressed as soon as they’re detected.
Problems with Moisture
Water damage and moisture issues are dreaded by homeowners. Unfortunately, water damage in homes may go unnoticed for a long time until it is severe. Unless there is excessive flooding or rainfall coming through the roof, this is often the case. Thermal imaging in a home inspection catches water issues right away by detecting unusual cool spots hidden behind walls, floors, and cabinets.
How much does Thermal Imaging cost?
Zero. We do not charge additional fees for Thermal Imaging. Thermal Imaging is included for free with our Pre-Purchase Pest & Building Inspections. Thermal Imaging is a powerful tool when in trained hands and we believe it should be the standard in all home inspections.
