Finding the Problem, Before It’s a Calamity
An infrared building inspection will help reveal the true integrity of your building. Normal inspections are achieved by visual and invasive (destructive) inspections. Infrared Inspections uses infrared technology that is not only non-invasive but reveals hidden damage and potential problems that would never be noticed otherwise. Temperature differences between the interior and exterior of the building and wet and dry building materials will reveal not only heat loss issues, but water damage, dry-rot, and faulty wiring. Besides being non-destructive, infrared imaging is non-intrusive causing no disruption to the building’s occupants.
Who Can Benefit From Infrared Home Inspection?
- Home Buyer: Our infrared inspection will give you assurance of a sound building or reveal unseen surprises lurking within the structure.
- Home Seller: Don’t be caught re-negotiating your selling price because the buyer’s inspector finds damage you never suspected.
- Insurance Claims: Document the full scope of catastrophic water damage from broken pipes, flooding, or storm damage.
- Commercial Buildings: Save on energy by identifying air leaks and insulation voids. Find moisture intrusions and avoid costly building repairs and health issues.
- Electrical Work: Locate loose or corroded connections, overloaded circuits, failing breakers, and fuses.
- HVAC: Find failing motors, bearings, pumps, plugged or leaking lines and ductwork.
- Low Slope Roof: A preventative maintenance inspection will find any water trapped under roofing materials. We can then map out the affected area that needs repair, saving the cost of an entire roof replacement!
- Log Home Owners: By using infrared thermography with blower door testing, log home designers, builders, and owners can enhance the standard building construction practices and improve air tightness, ventilation, energy convservation, and weather proofing.
