Does your modern home inspector carry any thermal
imaging equipment with him? He should, as thermal imaging technology
can be used for a vast array of applications such as detecting cool
spots that may indicate water or moisture. A thermal camera is an
extension of the home inspectors' eyes—it can see beyond what his
eyes normally see. This makes the thermal camera an essential tool;
after all, the gravest threats to a home's safety and integrity are
frequently invisible to the naked eye.
Thermal imaging is generally capable of two major
functions. First, it can detect hotspots in the house; these may
indicate the need for additional insulation. In addition, the camera
can spot cool spots in certain sections, namely in areas where it's
hot all over. All the inspector needs to do is point the thermal
camera towards any part of the house and study its readings. Hot or
cold patches can signal problems that may need urgent attention.
Why is there a cool spot around an area that's normally
hot or vice-versa? It's difficult to see these spots with the naked
eye, which is why thermal imaging is considered a game changer in the
field of home inspection. For home inspectors, the job involves
giving accurate assessments on the integrity and safety of the house.
In other words, they come and check out the house first before you
move everything inside.
