Thermal Imaging sometimes called thermal or infrared imaging is a non-contact non-invasive technology that can scan large areas with a thermal/IR camera. These cameras are able to read the surface temperature and detect potential problems. These problems or potential trouble sources could be:

• Potential Air Leakage
• Missing Insulation
• Roof Leaks
• Heating Loss
• Electrical Overheating
• Moisture Intrusion with Possible Mold

Thermal Imaging Inspections are one of the best ways to inspect beyond what can be seen with the naked eye to uncover issues that are hidden within walls. The use of thermal cameras is a diagnostic tool that allows the inspector to be more thorough in their findings, determining potential issues, and adding further insight than what is required from the minimum scope of the Illinois home inspection SOP.
