Hidden

What is a thermal inspection?

A thermal inspection, also called an infrared (IR) or thermal imaging inspection, uses a thermal camera to detect heat patterns on surfaces. It helps identify hidden problems like heat loss, water leaks, electrical hotspots, insulation gaps, or HVAC inefficiencies not visible to the naked eye.

Why should I have a thermal inspection before purchasing a property?

Thermal inspections reveal hidden problems that may be expensive to repair, such as:

Leaky roofs and windows
Moisture or mold intrusion
Electrical problems
Inadequate insulation or energy efficiency

Identifying these issues prior to purchase can help you negotiate repairs or price adjustments.

How is a thermal inspection done?

One of our certified technicians uses a thermal camera to scan walls, ceilings, floors, electrical panels, and HVAC systems. The camera detects temperature variations and generates images that reveal potential problems, even behind walls and beneath floors.

Is thermal inspection invasive?

No. Thermal inspections are non-invasive, requiring no drilling or wall removal. The camera detects temperature differences on the surface.

How will I get the results?

Following the inspection, we will give you a report containing thermal images that highlight areas of concern. Additionally, we will take the time to explain the findings and, if necessary, make recommendations for next steps.
