The thermography testing includes the use of infrared technology that will allow us to take photos of the temperature drop in areas of a home.

This will give us the information needed to expose week points of insulation, quality of windows and doors, potential HVAC leaks, internal wall condensation (that could lead to mold) and even overheated electrical elements.

What is Thermography Testing?

Thermography, also known as thermal imaging, is a technology that uses infrared cameras to detect and measure temperature differences. In the context of home inspections, it's a powerful tool for identifying potential problems that are invisible to the naked eye.

How Does Thermography Testing Work?

A thermography inspection involves using a special camera to create a thermal image of a building. Warmer areas appear in different colors, revealing temperature variations. These variations can indicate potential problems, such as:

  • Roofing issues: Detecting leaks, missing insulation, or damaged flashing.
  • Electrical problems: Identifying overheated wires or faulty connections.
  • Energy loss: Pinpointing areas where heat is escaping, leading to higher energy bills.
  • Moisture issues: Locating hidden water damage or mold growth.
