Infrared Home Inspections

Thermal imaging inspections for Jacksonville FL and surrounding areas

Benefits of Infrared Thermographic Technology

An infrared camera can make a huge difference in uncovering what’s lying beneath the surfaces of your new home. Infrared technology can detect heat loss, moisture damage, air leakage and inconsistencies in insulation coverage. Infrared thermography uses a thermal infrared camera to measure surface temperature and can identify abnormalities within building materials without using invasive testing.

In terms of energy loss, an infrared camera can help detect:

Heat loss and air infiltration in walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors
Damaged and/or malfunctioning radiant heating systems
Air-conditioner compressor leaks
Under-fastening and/or missing framing members, and other structural defects that can lead to energy loss
Broken seals in double-paned windows

In terms of detecting moisture, an infrared camera can help locate:

Plumbing leaks
Hidden roof leaks with recent rainfall
Missing, damaged and/or wet insulation
Water and moisture intrusion around penetrations and at the foundation and building envelope that could lead to structural damage and mold

Infrared cameras are equally effective at locating hot spots in the home, including:

Circuit breakers in need of immediate replacement
Overloaded and undersized circuits
Overheated electrical equipment and components
Electrical faults

Although infrared thermal imaging is a far better diagnostic tool than the naked eye, it does have limitations, and it does not guarantee 100% accuracy. Thermal imaging displays surface temperatures of solid objects and only detects temperature differences between those objects. It does not “see through walls.” Conditions may change and cause the apparent temperature readings revealed in thermal images to be different at any given time.
