IR CAMERAS
I can see things that other inspectors can't, because I use my infrared camera on every home inspection. I am an InterNACHI® Infrared Certified® Thermography Inspector.
Can You See What I See?
I can see things that you can't see. I can see things that other inspectors can't see either. I use infrared so that I can see things that helps me do a great home inspection for my clients.
I See Things Other Inspectors Can't
I am Infrared Certiifed®. I am an InterNACHI® Infrared Certified® Thermography Inspector.
I use a state-of-the-art infrared camera to find problems that aren’t always apparent to the naked eye. An IR camera translates the heat signatures of objects into colors on a gradient scale, with higher temperatures appearing as lighter colors, and lower temperatures and wet areas appearing as darker colors. By evaluating these images, I can detect sources of energy loss, locate areas of moisture intrusion, pinpoint dangerous hot spots in the electrical system, and uncover other problems, such as wood-destroying pest and rodent infestations, as well as flue leaks in the chimney, which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
I often help clients with water stains on ceilings and water intrusion issues. While thermography is useful for this, it works best when combined with a moisture meter. I can also inspect attics for signs of leaks, but thermal imaging alone may not give a definitive answer. It's a helpful tool, not a magic solution.
I'm certified by InterNACHI® to use an infrared camera and trained in building science, including how water and heat behave. This knowledge is crucial for accurate assessments. My camera detects temperature differences, revealing defects related to energy loss, moisture, electrical problems, or structural issues.
Owning an infrared camera is not enough; it requires expertise to operate and interpret the images. I'm an InterNACHI® Infrared Certified® Thermography Inspector, dedicated to providing precise assessments.
