Discover the Benefits of Infrared/Thermal Imaging Home Inspection

house Kris Wang Oct 3, 2023

In the world of home inspection, infrared/thermal imaging offers valuable insights for both homeowners and inspectors. It allows us to visualize temperature differences on various surfaces, going beyond what the naked eye can see. While some homes may seem flawless during a regular inspection, infrared/thermal imaging reveals hidden issues, such as water infiltration in walls or insulation.

What can you learn from using an infrared/thermal imaging camera?

  1. Insulation Issues: Identify missing or damaged insulation, along with signs of moisture ingress or heat loss.
  2. Electrical-Mechanical and HVAC Problems: Spot faults in electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems and components.
  3. Leak Detection: Detect leaks in roofs by looking for missing or moisture-soaked insulation or framing.
  4. Construction Flaws: Identify construction defects and pinpoint water intrusion in areas where flashing or sealants were improperly installed.
  5. Cavity and Facade Problems: Reveal issues with building cavities and facades that isolate from external elements like moisture, heat, or wind.
  6. Heating/Cooling Efficiency: Assess heating or cooling leakage and identify issues with window or door construction, like single-glazed windows or lack of thermal insulation.
  7. Water Damage: Detect water damage within walls or floors, which may not be visible otherwise.
  8. Post-Installation Validation: Address concerns after installations.
