Our inspectors conduct a comprehensive infrared scan during the home inspection, focusing on common areas to detect moisture, air leakage, and electrical hotspots. This helps identify any potential issues that may need attention.
For example, an inspector will run hot water in an upstairs bathroom and then go below the bathroom and scan the drywall.
A residential home inspection infrared scan is a powerful tool used to uncover hidden issues within a property that may not be visible to the naked eye. This non-invasive technique employs infrared cameras to detect temperature variations on surfaces, revealing problems such as insulation deficiencies, moisture intrusion, electrical hotspots, and air leaks. By identifying these thermal anomalies, an infrared scan can pinpoint areas where energy is being lost, highlight potential water damage behind walls or under floors, and identify overloaded circuits or faulty wiring that could pose fire hazards. This advanced diagnostic method enhances the accuracy of home inspections, providing homeowners and buyers with a comprehensive understanding of the property’s condition and helping them make informed decisions about necessary repairs or improvements.
