Thermal Imaging Adoption

Thermal imaging (infrared scanning) is becoming a standard tool in the inspector’s kit. It visualizes temperature differences across surfaces, revealing problems hidden to the naked eye.

Detecting Hidden Moisture. Leaky roofs, plumbing issues, and trapped moisture behind walls often show up as cooler spots in thermal scans—long before damage is visible.

Finding Insulation Gaps. Inspectors can spot areas where insulation is missing or inadequate, helping buyers understand energy efficiency and potential heating/cooling costs.

Identifying Electrical Hazards. Overheating electrical panels or loose wiring can be detected via hotspots, which helps buyers catch fire risks before they become emergencies.

Peace of Mind. Thermal imaging adds another layer of assurance, especially in older homes or those with past water damage. It’s non-invasive and incredibly informative.
