RESIDENTIAL

Performing infrared scanning with thermal imagers gives us data that allows us to advise consumers on ways to increase the efficiency of the home, as well as pinpoint areas of maximum concern.
How can this technology be useful?

• Energy Audits - Heat loss and/or cold air intrusion can be detected to help improve the energy efficiency of residential and commercial structures. Among other things, we can reveal missing insulation and other reasons for useless energy consumption. Minor changes can make a huge difference in energy consumption which means less money out of pocket and peace of mind.
  
  
• Moisture Detection in Walls and Ceilings - By detecting the difference in temperature between moisture at an area in a ceiling or wall and the surrounding dry areas we can help detect an area of concern that would not normally be visible during a typical inspection. Moisture equals mold and if moisture intrusion can be located and corrected it can prevent further deterioration and widespread growth of mold. Detection and repair of a leak in its early stages can be significantly less expensive than if it is not detected until later.
  
  
• Flat Roof Inspections - If you have a leak on a flat roof and have been told that a new roof is needed, call us first. We may be able to save you a substantial amount of money. Thermal Imaging can be used to detect the precise location of the leak and mark the affected area so that proper repairs can be made at a fraction of the expense of a new roof.

 

Insurance Companies

Insurance companies can use data gathered by an infrared camera to provide convincing evidence in property damage settlements. In addition, regular inspection of the building and its facilities allows the insured party often to obtain a substantial discount on the insurance contract.

 

Real Estate Agents

Thermal Imaging can provide agents an added service or bargaining tool for their clients. Our thermal scans and reports can assure home buyers of a property’s energy efficiency, the presence of hidden moisture problems or large pest infestations, and a review of electrical and mechanical systems. All this information goes beyond what is typically provided by a home inspector.
