Thermal imaging helps the inspector to uncover problems that aren’t always visible to the human eye. The thermal camera employs a process that translates the heat signature in your home on a gradient scale, ranging from bright red to dark blue. Higher temperatures will translate as red, while darker colors are triggered by lower temperatures in wet areas. Thermal Imaging will uncover:
– Potential Heat Loss Around Walls and Floorings
– Potential Heat Loss at Windows and Doors
– Energy Loss
– Electrical Hot Spots
– Flue Leaks in Chimney
– Locate Wood Destroying Insects
– Detect Moisture Intrusion These issues can lead to significant energy inefficiencies, structural damage, and costly repairs if left unaddressed. Through professional inspection services for businesses, these potential problems can be identified early, ensuring the safety, efficiency, and longevity of commercial properties. Proactive inspections help business owners make informed decisions, protect investments, and maintain a comfortable environment for employees and customers alike.
NextDay Inspect Offers Thermal Imaging as an Add-on to Home Inspections
Thermal imaging can let you know of any dangerous electrical hot spots in your home. As seen at the image to the right, one of the breakers in the circuit breaker has very high heat. This is due to two wires connected to one breaker. This is a double tapped breaker.
As shown in this thermal image, there’s a significant heat loss around the windows. This could be a sign of air infiltration in the windows. Heat loss can also occur around the doors as well.
Thermal Imaging can locate Pests that are in your home. Since they are usually behind your walls, you wouldn’t normally be able to see this. Thermal imaging works by detecting temperature differences, allowing professionals to identify areas where pests may be nesting or moving. This advanced technology is an essential tool in residential home inspection basics, as it helps uncover hidden infestations that might otherwise go unnoticed. By addressing these issues early, homeowners can prevent further damage and maintain the integrity of their property.
You may also have heat loss around your walls/flooring. If there are dark areas around your wall/flooring, that might be an indication of poor insulation in your home.
