IR Thermography FAQ
Infrared thermography is the easiest and quickest method to detect energy waste, insulation deficiencies, moisture and electrical issues in buildings. An infrared camera shows exactly where the problems are and helps focus the inspectors' attention allowing him or her to properly diagnose areas with energy loss. A thermal imaging camera is a reliable non contact instrument which is able to scan and visualize the temperature distribution of building surfaces and electrical equipment quickly and accurately. The technician should be a certified thermographer. The interior and exterior surfaces of the home are scanned using the thermal imaging camera to identify cold and hot spots. This non-invasive procedure is used as a diagnostic tool to identify various issues such as sub-standard insulation levels, heat losses, overheating of electrical components, plumbing leaks and water infiltration into the building envelope. This technology is very expensive and prohibitive for many home inspectors. InSpecRes is able to offer the services of a certified thermographer to clients seeking added value to the standard home inspection completed in accordance with the Standards of Practice, or as a stand alone service. Thermography has contributed to substantial cost savings to homeowners around the world. David Carty is an InSpecRes associate and a Level 1 Certified Thermographer.
