Clear information before your next step.
Thermal imaging can reveal temperature differences that are not obvious to the eye. When conditions are suitable, it can support an inspection by identifying patterns associated with moisture, air leakage, insulation gaps, or electrical heat.
What we examine
- Accessible interior walls and ceilings
- Areas near plumbing fixtures
- Electrical components where appropriate
- Heating and cooling distribution patterns
- Attic or insulation-related temperature differences
- Selected areas based on site conditions
What you receive
- Relevant thermal images in the report
- Explanation of notable temperature patterns
- Recommendations for confirmation when needed
- A non-destructive additional layer of information
Why it matters
More than a checklist.
Infrared imaging adds another layer of information by showing surface temperature differences. It is most useful when interpreted alongside visual observations, moisture readings, weather conditions, and the operating state of building systems.
Common observations
- Temperature patterns that may be consistent with insulation gaps or air leakage
- Patterns near plumbing or exterior assemblies that merit moisture investigation
- Unusual heat at selected electrical components where conditions allow
- Heating and cooling distribution differences across accessible areas
How to prepare
- Keep heating or cooling operating normally before the inspection when practical.
- Avoid making major indoor temperature changes immediately before the appointment.
- Tell us about leaks, cold rooms, drafts, or comfort complaints you want investigated.
Useful observations, explained in plain language.
A home inspection is a non-invasive visual assessment of accessible conditions at the time of inspection. It is not destructive testing, an appraisal, a warranty, or a guarantee of future performance. It does not replace engineering, environmental testing, code enforcement, or specialist trade evaluation. When deeper evaluation is appropriate, the report will identify the recommended next step.
Common questions
Before you book.
These answers describe the general service. Property-specific scope, access, timing, and limitations are confirmed when booking.
Can thermal imaging see through walls?+
No. It displays surface temperature patterns. Those patterns can indicate areas that merit further investigation, but they are not an X-ray view.
Does every inspection find moisture?+
No. Results depend on conditions, temperature differences, accessibility, and the nature of the concern. Moisture meters or specialist testing may also be recommended.
