Protect Your Investment with Our Home Inspection Services
No, for real… it works
Thermal imaging might sound like something out of a spy movie, but it's actually one of the most useful tools we have during a home inspection. It allows us to "see" heat and temperature differences in a way the human eye cannot.
In simple terms, it helps us spot things that may be hidden behind walls or under surfaces. Think of it like x-ray vision for temperature. We use it to help detect possible issues with moisture, missing insulation, electrical hotspots, water leaks, pest activity, and sometimes even unexpected people (yes, that has happened).
We use thermal imaging as needed during every inspection. If we notice something suspicious, like a wall that feels unusually cold or a ceiling stain with no clear cause, we will use the camera to take a closer look at no extra cost.
If you would like a full thermal scan of the entire home, room by room, we offer that as an add-on service. This can be especially helpful for spotting heat loss, air leaks, or water issues that are not yet visible.
It is not magic. But it's close.
Pulling Back the Curtain
Heat Loss in Plain Sight

Heat Loss in Plain Sight
This image shows a building with significant heat loss. The red and bright yellow areas on the walls and around the windows are where warm air is escaping. These hot spots often point to missing or poorly installed insulation, gaps or cracks in the structure, or windows that are not sealed well or keeping heat in like they should.
Moisture on the Move
Warm, Furry, and Unwelcome
Heat Loss in Plain Sight
This thermal image shows a ceiling and upper wall area where water or moisture is present. The darker purple and blue areas are cooler, which often indicates wet spots, especially when compared to the warmer yellow and orange around them.
Hot Wires, Real Risks
Warm, Furry, and Unwelcome
Warm, Furry, and Unwelcome
This thermal image shows an electrical panel with several breakers and wire connections. The bright yellow and white areas indicate elevated heat levels. These hot spots can be a sign of loose connections, overloaded circuits, or failing components. Any of these conditions could lead to electrical failure or even fire if not addressed.
Warm, Furry, and Unwelcome
Warm, Furry, and Unwelcome
Warm, Furry, and Unwelcome
This thermal image shows a rodent inside the wall cavity. The bright yellow and white areas show body heat, while the cooler purple and blue around it indicate the wall structure. You can clearly see the shape of the animal, including the tail, which confirms it is something alive and moving within the wall.
