Why Infrared Technology?
What is Infrared Technology?
Infrared technology is the use of a thermal imaging camera to help you to detect the presence of something that cannot be seen with the naked eye, because a wall or obstruction is in the way. Different ranges of temperature, from hot to cold, can be useful in determining the presence of moisture, lack of insulation, electrical hot spots, pests and other things within the home in areas that you cannot detect with the naked eye.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q What is Infrared Technology in home inspections?
A
Infrared technology, also known as thermography, uses specialized cameras to detect thermal energy emitted by objects. In home inspections, infrared technology helps identify temperature variations and potential issues such as moisture intrusion, electrical hot spots, and insulation deficiencies.
Q How does an infrared gun work, and what does it measure during a home inspection?
A
An infrared gun, or thermal imaging camera, measures surface temperatures by detecting the infrared radiation emitted by objects. During a home inspection, it can identify temperature variations that may indicate potential issues within the property.
Q What are some common findings detected by infrared technology during a home inspection?
A
Infrared technology can detect a wide range of issues, including moisture intrusion, electrical faults, missing insulation, HVAC leaks, and even pest infestations!
Q Why is infrared technology beneficial for home inspections?
A
Infrared technology allows home inspectors to identify hidden issues that may not be visible to the naked eye, enabling homeowners to address them before they escalate into costly repairs.
Q Can infrared technology detect hidden water leaks in a home?
A
Yes, infrared technology is highly effective in detecting hidden water leaks behind walls, ceilings, and floors. By identifying moisture sources early on, homeowners can prevent water damage and mold growth!
Q Are infrared findings included in the home inspection report?
A
Yes, any findings detected using infrared technology are documented in the home inspection report, providing homeowners with detailed insights into the condition of their property.
Q Is infrared technology safe for use during a home inspection?
A
Yes, infrared technology is non-invasive and completely safe for both the inspector and the property being inspected!
