Hidden Issues Don't Stay Hidden

Hidden issues in your home can lead to costly repairs if left undetected. With Thermal Imaging Inspections, we use advanced infrared technology to uncover problems that aren’t visible during a standard inspection. Whether it’s water leaks, electrical hotspots, or energy inefficiencies, thermal imaging provides a deeper look into the health of your home.

What Is a Thermal Imaging Inspection?

Thermal imaging inspections use an infrared camera to detect temperature variations in your home. These variations can reveal hidden issues, such as moisture intrusion, insulation problems, or electrical system concerns. This non-invasive technology is an essential tool for identifying issues before they become serious, saving you time, money, and stress.

The infrared photo reveals excessive heat in the circuit panel, showing that the wire and breaker are overheating. This poses a serious fire risk that can be identified and addressed using an infrared camera—an issue that a standard visual inspection alone cannot detect. Thermal imaging is essential for spotting hidden electrical hazards and ensuring your home’s safety.

What Can Thermal Imaging Detect?

  • Water Leaks and Moisture Intrusion
    Infrared imaging can identify areas of moisture behind walls, ceilings, and floors, even when there are no visible signs of water damage. Early detection can prevent mold growth and structural damage.

  • Electrical Hotspots
    Overheating electrical components, such as wiring, breakers, or outlets, can pose a serious fire risk. Thermal imaging helps pinpoint these hotspots so they can be addressed promptly.

  • Energy Loss and Insulation Gaps
    Detecting areas where your home is losing heat or cool air can help improve energy efficiency. Whether it’s drafty windows, poorly insulated walls, or gaps in the attic, thermal imaging helps you target these issues for better energy savings.

  • HVAC System Performance
    Thermal imaging can assess the efficiency of your HVAC system, revealing uneven heating or cooling, duct leaks, or malfunctioning components.

  • Pest Infestations
    Some pests, like rodents or termites, generate heat that can be detected with an infrared camera. Thermal imaging can reveal their presence in hidden spaces before they cause significant damage.
