While there is no guarantee that thermal imaging will find everything that is wrong within a home, the technology gets our inspectors closer to giving you the most accurate inspection possible.
Thermal Imaging helps in the detection of:
- Cold Air Infiltration
- Some Hidden Structure Items
- Moisture in Building Materials
- Location of Plumbing
- Some Electrical Deficiencies
- Heating and Cooling Duct Placement
- Gaps in / Missing Insulation
- Water Infiltration in Roofing, Walls, or Foundations
Limitations of Thermal Imaging:
- Thermal imaging can only detect surface temperatures of solid objects
- Thermal imaging cannot see through walls, but can detect slight variations in the surface temperature of walls
- Thermal imaging cannot detect the surface temperature of surfaces or materials that reflect light
