An Infrared Inspection is a test that detects heat or cooling losses and air leakage with the use of a thermal imager. The imager detects heat coming from an object and analyzes its effectiveness.
What is a Thermogram?
Images of the detected temperature distribution are called thermograms, and they make it possible to see heat-producing objects invisible to the naked eye.
Using this method, we can verify the effectiveness of a structure’s insulation and locate areas with air drafts and unwanted moisture in the home. With high energy costs, it is vital for homeowners to identify areas of energy loss so corrected action can be taken.
The infrared or thermal inspection is a helpful tool for a home buyer by identifying hidden issues. This can be a major savings in the long run.
Moisture Detection
The inspection can also help find moisture behind walls, rooflines, soffits, and foundations. Unwanted moisture can lead to mold and cause decay, rot and other serious issues.
