Thermal Imaging (Infrared Thermography)
Thermal Imaging is not a mandatory part of a home inspection........But it should be!
An IR scan of areas of your home during a home inspection can show you concerns that are not visible with the naked eye. What is lurking behind the wall that has not shown up yet? Are you paying to heat or cool the outdoors?
Moisture Intrusion, Electrical hot spots, and air infiltration are just a few of the things Thermal Imaging can assist us in finding in the home. Many times, an inspection by itself even at its most thorough can not see what is happening behind the building materials, wall, floors, and ceilings. Some of these issues can lead to health issues in addition to the costs of repair or replacement.
Below are examples of what a quick scan can show us. Once areas like these are found, we are not done. We still employ additional tools such as moisture detection meters and years of Building Science knowledge to locate WHY this is happening. The "WHY" is as important to know as seeing there is an issue. Having an inspection without a thermal scan means not having as much information as possible to make the best financial decision. Let us give you peace of mind with a Thermal Imaging scan of the moisture-prone areas of the home. We can complete a stand-alone IR inspection if a full home inspection is not need, When you choose a full inspection the technology is included at no charge and the inspection will be that much more complete.

Can you imagine a home inspection without the peace of mind of including Thermal Imaging?.......................neither can we!
