Using Infra-Red Scans to Enhance Your Home Inspection

Water is one of the biggest threats to any building. I can make it’s way into ceilings, behind walls and under floors. In many cases, it can go undetected by the naked eye, eventually accumulating and causing moisture-related damage and/or mold concerns.

One of the most effective ways to detect moisture issues throughout a home is to conduct an infra-red scan. An infra-red scan can be purchased as an add-on service along with our standard home inspection.

Infra-Red Scanning: Providing Home Buyers with an Elevated Peace of Mind

As a tool available to our home inspectors,  infra-red technology provides another unique way to inspect a home. When combined with our experience of home systems and building science, IR scanning can aid us in shedding light on potentially hidden concerns. This is just another way Scott Home Services provides YOU with the knowledge you need to make an informed and comfortable decision when purchasing a home.

How An Infra-Red Scan Works:

During an inspection, our inspectors will use a specialized Infra-Red camera that allows us to observe temperature differentials behind surfaces. Drastic temperature differentials often indicate potential moisture issues or hidden leaks. Areas with elevated moisture levels tend to be colder than the surrounding dry areas. So they will generally appear blue or purple on the IR camera.

If areas of moisture are suspected, a moisture meter can be used to verify the concern, prompting a recommendation for further evaluation. This process can help to shed light on serious moisture issues that would be otherwise undetectable.
