Definitely recommend. I was impressed with the professionalism from my first enquiry call. Khristine has everything set up to provide a speedy quoting process, scheduling, report access and follow up. Lots of automated reminder texts and communication (which is super useful for anyone who has a lot going on!). I ended up needing to reschedule a few times and they were very accommodating and understanding. Mike and his crew showed up on time and were quite thorough - handled a sensitive/awkward situation with rental tenant issues with grace and ease. While the Report covers everthing, it is limited in detail and a bit generic - but I am pretty sure that's pretty standard nowadays across the inspection/property industry due to liability and CYA requirements. Actually chatting with Mike and his team was the most informative and provided the most context/info/advice/ etc. He took a ton of time walking me through everything and answering all of my questions. Great company - I'd recommend them to anyone!

Thermal Camera Inspections - Thermographic Heat Loss Inspection

Unexpected heat loss, unexplained moisture, or recurring electrical issues can be frustrating and expensive. When the source of the problem isn’t visible, identifying the cause becomes difficult – often resulting in repeat fixes, wasted energy, and ongoing uncertainty.

 

Thermal imaging inspections help remove that guesswork. By using infrared technology to detect abnormal temperature patterns, thermal imaging can reveal insulation gaps, air leakage, moisture intrusion, and electrical overheating that may otherwise remain hidden. Identifying these issues early allows homeowners to take targeted, informed action.

With 260+ Five-Star Reviews on Google Maps, we’re known for clear communication, detailed digital reports, and a focus on homeowner education. Our inspectors explain findings in plain language so you can make informed decisions without confusion.

What is a Thermal Imaging Inspection?

A thermal imaging inspection uses an infrared camera to detect temperature differences across surfaces within a home. By identifying abnormal heat patterns, inspectors can uncover issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye, such as missing insulation, air leakage, moisture intrusion, and overheating electrical components.

Thermal imaging highlights areas where a building may be losing energy or retaining unwanted moisture, as well as areas generating excess heat due to electrical or mechanical stress. These findings help pinpoint potential problems early, before they lead to costly repairs, safety concerns, or ongoing energy inefficiencies. When used by a trained inspector, thermal imaging adds valuable insight into how a home is truly performing.

What Thermal Inspections Can Reveal

Thermal imaging inspections help identify hidden issues affecting comfort, safety, and building performance – especially in areas that are difficult to access or visually assess.

Heat Loss and Insulation Gaps

Thermal imaging is especially effective for assessing insulation performance and energy loss throughout a home, including attic spaces and roof assemblies.

 

  • Missing, compressed, or uneven insulation

 

  • Heat loss through ceilings, attic hatches, and roof penetrations

 

  • Drafts around windows, doors, and exterior walls

 

  • Poor thermal performance within the building envelope

Moisture Intrusion and Hidden Leaks

Temperature anomalies can also point to moisture-related concerns that may not yet show visible damage.

  • Roof leaks and moisture entry around flashing or penetrations

     

  • Plumbing leaks behind walls or ceilings

     

  • Moisture intrusion in attics, bathrooms, or exterior wall cavities

     

  • Areas at increased risk for mold development

Electrical Overheating and Safety Concerns

Thermal imaging can help identify abnormal heat patterns within electrical systems that may indicate safety issues.

  • Overloaded circuits and breakers
  • Loose or deteriorating electrical connections
  • Electrical components generating excessive heat
  • Early warning signs of potential electrical failure

Appliance Performance Issues and Hidden Water Leaks

Thermal imaging can provide valuable insight into both appliance-related moisture issues and performance concerns.

Appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators are common sources of water leaks, and thermal inspections can help identify residual moisture that may remain after an overflow or water incident – even when surfaces appear dry.

Thermal imaging can also reveal abnormal temperature patterns in appliances like refrigerators or freezers, which may indicate poor thermoregulation, insulation problems, or mechanical strain. This helps homeowners better understand appliance-related risks before secondary damage develops.

Why Infrared Inspections Matter for Homeowners

Infrared inspections give homeowners clearer answers when something doesn’t feel right. Instead of relying on guesswork, thermal imaging helps confirm suspected problems, pinpoint their location, and rule out concerns that may not require action—saving time, money, and frustration.

 

  • Early detection of hidden issues before they cause visible damage or costly repairs
  • Targeted repairs that focus on the real source of a problem, not symptoms
  • Improved comfort and performance by identifying heat loss, cold spots, and air leakage
  • Greater confidence in decisions, whether planning repairs, improving efficiency, or confirming a concern

 

For homeowners dealing with unexplained drafts, moisture, or electrical concerns, infrared inspections provide practical insight and a clearer path forward.
