Thermal Imaging in Denver, Co
&
Surrounding Areas

A thermal scan, a unique tool also known as an infrared image, is employed by home inspectors to uncover temperature variations in a property. Unlike a standard visual inspection, an infrared camera captures images that display the surface temperature of objects within the home. These temperature variations can unveil issues that might not be discernible to the naked eye, making a thermal scan an invaluable part of a comprehensive home inspection.

Here’s How It Works:

  • Detecting Insulation Deficiencies:

    A thermal scan can reveal areas where insulation is missing, insufficient, or has settled over time, leading to energy inefficiency. Cold or warm spots in the thermal image indicate these deficiencies.

  • Identifying Moisture Intrusion:

    Moisture problems can be detected through colder areas on walls, ceilings, or floors, as water absorbs heat differently than dry materials. Infrared cameras can help identify leaks or water damage that might not be immediately visible.

  • Ensuring Electrical Safety:

    A thermal scan can pinpoint electrical components that are overheating due to loose connections, overloading, or faulty wiring. These hot spots in the thermal image are crucial for preventing potential fire hazards, ensuring the safety of your home and your family.

  • Locating HVAC Issues:

    The thermal scan can reveal uneven heating or cooling in a home, indicating potential issues with the HVAC system, such as duct leaks or blockages.

  • Proactive Pest Management:

    In some cases, thermal imaging can detect areas where pests, such as termites or rodents, might be nesting. These areas may show up as warmer or cooler spots, allowing you to be proactive in addressing potential pest issues and maintaining the condition of your property.

Overall, a thermal scan is not just a part but a cornerstone of a comprehensive home inspection. It provides invaluable insights that are impossible with a standard visual inspection alone. Its value is undeniable, and its benefits are numerous, giving you confidence in the thoroughness of your home inspection.
