The Truth about Thermal Imaging and Infra-Red Cameras
Will a Thermal Imager detect moisture behind a wall?
Answer: NO, However, it will detect temperature changes via colors that will alert the user to potential problems that may exists, so it will assist, but never replace experience and common sense!
Can a Thermal Imager Detect Electrical Issues?
Answer: YES, thermal imaging can detect overloaded circuits and over fused circuits. It is invaluable to electrical non-intrusive inspections.
Can a Thermal Imager Detect Insulation Problems?
Answer: YES, and it can alert to missing, damaged, displaced and low levels of Insulation. In fact, it has detected over 200 poorly insulated attics in 2010 alone! Identifying this can lead to cost savings! With reasons ranging from squirrel damage, raccoon infestation, wind damage, old insulation standards, and human error; we identify so we can resolve!
Does APG Home Inspections use Thermal Imaging?
Answer: YES – And we don’t charge extra for it! Just another of the many value added services!
With a thorough home inspection, you will definitively cut down the risk of major issues, hazards or deficiencies. Hidden or Latent Defects are not always visible, but with the technology we use (thermal imaging, borescope, pinless moisture meters and voltage meter) we can find these issues and flag them during a home inspection. This gives you a head start in knowing what you are buying, but also to budget down the road based on lifecycles of certain items inspected!
