- Moisture Detection with Infrared Thermal
Imaging
While our thermal imaging
services are optional with a home inspection, we recommend performing a thermal
imaging scan on every house. The hidden insulation, electrical, and
moisture problems that we find with thermal imaging can save you large sums of
money due to repairs and energy losses.
On a recent home inspection in
Edmonton on a brand new home, moisture was detected that would have never been
found without an infrared thermal imaging camera. Moisture can cause
structural and other damage and also lead to mold growth. Below are a
couple of thermal images showing the moisture and corresponding digital images
of the same areas to show there was no visible evidence of moisture at these
locations.
We recommend a thermal imaging
scan for every home inspection and also offer thermal imaging as a separate
service.
