We use Thermal Imaging Tools on every Inspection

Thermal imaging is a must have tool when conducting a property inspection. For instance, it allows the home inspector to Quickly detect anomalies that would normally go unnoticed during a visual home inspection. Similarly, issues can now be detected before they cost money or cause extensive damage. Missing insulation can go unnoticed for years, therefore increasing heating and cooling costs. Early detection of water leaking in a wall, can prevent a much larger problem involving wood rot, structural weakening or mold growth.
