Thermal Camera (Infrared) Inspections
Infrared thermal imaging is an advanced non-destructive technology. With this technology, I can see beyond the spectrum of "natural light" the light that bounces off all objects we can see with the naked eye) and measures the temperature variances of a surface.
I am pioneering this technology in the building inspection industry providing an unprecedented service other home inspectors have yet to offer. Proudly serving Ottawa, Barrhaven, Kanata, Orleans, and the greater Eastern Ontario Region.
Thermal Imaging is highly advanced technology that was originally developed by our military for use in enhancing night vision. This truly amazing camera technology is so astonishing, that it is slowly migrating into the residential and commercial inspection field. Thermal Imaging is quite possibly, the most important technology to be utilized in the home inspection profession today. In the hands of Certified, Trained and Experienced Thermographers, an infrared camera enables me to detect hidden issues behind finished surfaces of any building by evaluating the camera’s images and temperature readings.
Moisture in Ceiling; No Stains Visible, Faulty Breaker in Electrical Panel
Everything from faulty wiring, overheated electrical circuit breakers, wet or missing insulation, plumbing leaks behind walls or between floors and even mold infestation will affect the surrounding temperature of a surface. Under the right temperature conditions, Thermal Diagnostics can reveal these and many other serious issues that cannot be seen by the naked eye or with conventional or digital photography.
Brand New Home Lacking Insulation in the Wall Chase These concealed defects can normally go undetected in the course of my standard visual inspection, but with Thermal Imaging, the infrared camera enables me to detect extremely small but crucial heat patterns from one area of a structure to another. These temperature variations will clearly show up on our infrared camera’s screen as “cold” or “hot” spots. These spots will contain a color signature along with temperature differentials if issues are lurking behind the surfaces of your home. Analysis of this data will help detect problems or conditions that never would have been visible with the naked eye.
