FAQ's

Why is an Infrared Scan necessary?

Identifying one of the nation’s leading causes of residential fires, bad electrical wiring as the result of an Infrared Scan during an inspection is extremely important and the reason we offer this service for FREE!

During an Infrared Scan, the infrared camera observes a large square footage area of walls, floors and ceilings. We are able to quickly detect heat anomalies, differences in heat signatures, that require further investigation. These anomalies are invisible to the naked eye without the use of an infrared camera.

What are Infrared anomalies?

A heat signature anomaly can be both hot or cold. A ceiling in a living room with a cold spot could be an indication of missing insulation or water moisture that is cooling the surface. A wall in the dining room with a hotspot could be an indication of an electrical wire that is heating up as the result of a short circuit or an overload of power.

 

Significant Defects discovered with Infrared Scan:

 

Bad Electrical Wiring: 

  • Elevated temperatures from an overloaded beaker, over-powered wiring, or overloaded light switch

Poor Insulation:

  • Missing ceiling insulation contributes to high monthly electric bills
  • Higher maintenance bills from an unnecessary additional load to your HVAC system
  • Poor insulation is the primary cause of ice dams

Water Leaks: 

  • Wood rot and mold growth occurs as the result of sustained high moisture levels
  • Failed water heater
  • Leaks in plumbing supply and drain lines
  • Roof repairs or roof replacement

Duct leakages:

  • Higher heating and cooling costs as the result of inefficient duct installation
  • Higher maintenance bills from an unnecessary additional load to your HVAC system

"Luke and Brandon both helped us out with our inspection, and they couldn’t be more kind and professional! When it came time to review our house notes, Luke explained everything to us in an easy to understand way, and said that he’d be happy to chat further if we need an explanation on anything once we received the report."
