Thermal Imaging Scan

The inspector will utilize a Thermal Camera, also known as an Infrared Camera, to perform a detailed analysis of temperature variations within the home. This advanced technology allows the inspector to identify areas where the temperature differs from the surrounding environment, which can be a crucial indicator of potential issues such as water or moisture intrusion within walls, ceilings, or other parts of the property.

Moisture trapped within building materials can lead to serious problems like mold growth, structural damage, and deteriorated indoor air quality. By detecting these temperature anomalies, the Thermal Camera may help the inspector to "trace back" to the potential source of the moisture, whether it’s a hidden plumbing leak, roof leak, or another underlying issue.

But the benefits of a Thermal Camera inspection extend beyond moisture detection. This technology can also reveal the source of drafts, pinpointing areas where cold or warm air is entering or escaping your home. Identifying these drafts is essential for improving energy efficiency and maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures.

In addition, the Thermal Camera can uncover inadequate insulation, helping to identify areas where the home may be losing heat in the winter or gaining unwanted heat in the summer. This information is invaluable for homeowners looking to enhance the energy efficiency of their property.

Excess heat sources, such as overloaded electrical circuits or faulty appliances, can also be detected with the Thermal Camera, allowing homeowners to address potential safety hazards before they become serious issues. Moreover, the camera’s ability to identify temperature anomalies can also lead to the discovery of hidden pest infestations, as certain pests generate heat that can be detected with this technology.

All these benefits are included at no extra cost when you opt for a Premium Home Inspection. This comprehensive service ensures that your home is thoroughly examined, providing you with peace of mind and valuable insights into your property's condition.
