Imaging

Thermal imaging, also known as infrared imaging, allows us to see things invisible to the naked eye — from hidden moisture to insulation gaps and electrical hotspots.

Why Thermal / Infrared Cameras for Home Inspections?

Thermal imaging is a visual, non-destructive inspection method that allows us to see things that our eyes cannot. We believe all home inspections should include thermal imaging — that's why it's included with every inspection at no extra cost.

Thermal imaging, also known as infrared imaging, enables us to examine homes in greater detail. By detecting temperature differences across surfaces, we can identify issues that would otherwise go unnoticed until they become costly problems.

From moisture behind walls to electrical hotspots in panels, thermal imaging provides a deeper layer of insight that protects your investment.

What We Can See

What Thermal Imaging Detects

Thermal cameras detect temperature differences across surfaces, revealing hidden issues that would otherwise go unnoticed.

AC/HVAC duct performance — checking for leaky, disconnected, or poorly insulated ductwork causing uneven cooling/heating

Air leaks and drafts — locating gaps around windows, doors, and building envelope penetrations

Appliance functionality — checking that ovens, water heaters, and other appliances are heating properly and not showing abnormal hot spots

Electrical issues — detecting overheating outlets, breakers, panels, or connections that could indicate a fire risk

In-floor radiant heating performance — confirming even heat distribution and spotting dead zones or broken loops

Insulation gaps — finding missing, thin, or displaced insulation in walls, attics, and floors

Moisture and water intrusion detection — spotting damp areas behind walls, ceilings, or floors before mold or rot becomes visible

Plumbing leaks — tracing hidden pipe leaks

Roof leak detection — identifying trapped moisture under roofing materials or around flashing

Structural anomalies — spotting missing studs, framing defects, or areas where materials differ in density

Important: Thermal cameras detect temperature differentials, not moisture or defects directly. Findings are often confirmed with a moisture meter or other diagnostic tools to rule out false positives.

"Adam found issues that we never would have noticed. The thermal imaging caught a moisture problem behind the wall. His background in renovations really shows — he explained exactly what repairs would cost."

"Very thorough inspection of our Surrey home. Adam covered all 9 systems and the report was incredibly detailed. Only reason for 4 stars is we wished the inspection could have been a bit quicker, but quality was excellent."
