We use an infrared camera to see what our eyes cannot. We use infrared thermal imaging to provide important information related to otherwise inaccessible areas of a building. Infrared thermal imaging detects extremely small but crucial differences in temperature from one area of a house to another. These temperature variations show up on the camera’s view screen as “cold” or “hot” spots, which reveal hidden problems that often cannot be detected in the course of a traditional visual inspection.

These problems may include:

* Faulty wiring, breakers, and fuses

* Hidden moisture intrusion

* The moisture sources of mold

* Pipe and ductwork leaks

* Roof and ceiling leaks

* Foundation cracks

* Heat and energy loss

* Structural concerns

* Missing insulation

* Ventilation problems

* Moisture associated with termite nests

* Rats, mice, and other pests
