Infrared Inspections / Thermal Cameras

The infrared camera has become a valuable tool to home inspectors. While not needed on every inspection it proves to be useful when analyzing the following:
  • Looking at insulation inside of walls and ceilings: The camera can note gaps or missing insulation inside wall cavities not seen by the naked eye.
  • Wet areas or leaks: In most cases the home inspector will use a moisture meter to test any water-stained areas in the home. For those that are not readily accessible (like on a cathedral ceiling) the camera can tell the inspector if the stain is actually wet or dry (dry usually indicating an older, possibly repaired problem). The camera can also be used to locate plumbing or roofing leaks behind a wall.
  • Electrical connections: By scanning these with an IR (infrared) camera we get a temperature reading, useful to see if a component is overheating and in need of replacement.
  • Air leaks: An IR camera can detect hot or cold spots in a home and help with energy efficiency and weatherization (see photos).
Infrared scanning is sold as an "add-on" inspection.
