Thermal Imaging Technology During Home Inspections
Andruch Home Inspections uses thermal imaging as one of the advanced tools available during many home inspections. When conditions are suitable, infrared imaging can help identify temperature differences that may indicate hidden moisture intrusion, missing insulation, air leakage, or other conditions requiring further evaluation.
A common misconception is that thermal cameras can see through walls. In reality, they detect and measure temperature differences on surfaces. When there is a temperature difference, the camera can highlight areas that may indicate hidden problems.
Thermal imaging can help identify issues such as missing or damaged insulation, air leaks in the building envelope, moisture intrusion, and other potential concerns that might otherwise go unnoticed.
By helping locate the source of a problem, thermal imaging allows homeowners to better understand what’s happening behind the scenes and make informed decisions about repairs or improvements.
