An infrared thermal imaging inspection can identify and document:
heat loss and air infiltration in walls,ceilings, floors, windows and doors;
water and moisture intrusion that could lead to mold;
possible pest infestation;
Infrared thermal imaging can also help detect
electrical faults before they cause a fire;
overloaded and undersized circuits;
circuit breakers in need of immediate replacement;
energy loss and efficiency;
missing, damaged and/or wet insulation;
structural defects;
under-fastening and/or missing framing members;
broken seals in double-pane windows;
dangerous flue leaks;
damaged and/or malfunctioning radiant heating systems;
unknown plumbing leaks;
overheated equipment.
hidden roof leaks before they cause serious damage;
and air-conditioner compressor leaks.
Infrared is a frequency which lies just past red on the light
frequency scale. This energy frequency is not seen by the human eye. The
infrared thermal imaging camera senses differences in temperature that are not
seen without infrared.

The Flir B300 camera has a moisture / mould alarm and also an alarm for missing
insulation. This is because there are big temperature changes during these
conditions.

Moisture is not the only condition the camera may find as it senses conditions
with electrical, heating and cooling, plumbing, and even missing structure just to
name a few. This is all detected through differences in temperature.

Infrared Thermal Imaging is new to home inspectons and one should
not have an inspection done without a good quality infrared camera.
