INFRARED SERVICES

Infrared (thermal imaging) is an advanced non-destructive technology that allows an Infrared Certified Tech to show you things about your home that no one can show you with conventional inspection methods.

An infrared inspection can identify and document:

• electrical faults before they can cause a fire

• overloaded and undersized circuits

• circuit breakers in need of immediate replacement

• missing, damaged, and/or wet insulation

• heat loss and air infiltration in walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors

• water and moisture intrusion that could lead to mold

• possible pest infestation

• hidden roof leaks, before they cause serious damage

• structural defects

• broken seals in double pane windows

• energy loss and efficiency 

• dangerous flue leaks

• damaged and/or malfunctioning radiant heating systems

• unknown plumbing leaks

So why is infrared inspection, thermal imaging and thermography important in existing home and building inspections? Simply put, an Infrared camera in the hands of a properly trained inspector will harness the power of technology to provide you with a superior inspection. This technology offers you the power to see what no one else can see. Before infrared technology that brown stain on the ceiling might be a leak in the roof, after infrared technology that brown stain, well, it just needs a little paint (because we verified using infrared powered technology that the leak is not active). That is just one example of how the power of technology can literally save buyers, sellers and homeowners thousands of dollars by getting answers to their questions, rather then creating more questions.

As you can envision, this has real implications for our businesses. We can instantly image entire rooms, inspect places that can't be physically reached with moisture meters, reveal wet conditions behind surfaces such as enameled walls and wallpaper that don't readily water stain, track leaks to their source, monitor the drying process, and confirm when a structure is dry.
