What is Thermal Imaging?
 Thermal imagers, simply put, measure the thermal patterns across the surface of an object. The picture below, taken with a thermal imager, shows people walking across a field at night, reminiscent of photos we saw on the TV during the Iraq war. 
How Does This Relate to My Home Inspection?
The following are issues in a home that a thermal imager may uncover, that a visual inspection, would be unable to discover;
- Latent moisture in finished basements
- Wet roof sheathing from flashing/shingle/stack leaks
- Leaks around windows on the interior
- Air infiltration around fireplaces, windows, and doors
- Missing insulation
- Latent moisture issues from plumbing leaks especially from second-floor bathrooms
- Latent moisture behind stucco and EIFS
- Overloaded electrical circuits and electric panel problems

The charge for an interior scan of an average home is $150 at the time of inspection and performed by an Infraspective Institute Certified Thermograher. We have 2 thermographers on staff.
