Can Your Inspector See This?

Thermal Imaging & Home Inspections


Infrared thermography is the easiest and quickest method to detect energy waste, moisture and electrical issues in buildings. An infrared camera shows exactly where the problems are and helps focus the inspectors' attention allowing him or her to properly diagnose areas with energy loss.

Example Images

The image show extensive water damage on an external wall where the water has penetrated the outer facing because of an incorrectly installed window ledge.

Thermal Imaging and Moisture Detection

Again moisture intrusion above the bedroom window. An open seam along the roof/wall flashing was found on the exterior of the building

Thermal Imaging and Moisture Detection

Another example of the poor roof flashing on the exterior of the building allowing moisture to penetrate to the interior wall and insulation.

Thermal Imaging and Moisture Detection

The dark blue circle on the main floor bathroom ceiling is showing a water leak from the second floor tub. You can see in the picture on the left , that there was no visible evidence of this leak on the ceiling, or in the washroom above.

Thermal Imaging and Moisture Detection

Missing insulation in the ceiling of this house is evident in this photograph. Missing ceiling insulation is a major source of heat loss. This house was less than 10 years old.
