Thermal Imaging

Thermal Imaging Lets Us See the Unseen

Our basic home inspection service includes thermal imaging photography at no additional charge.

If you could see through walls and roofs, and appliances and systems, to check for potential defects- wouldn’t that give you a better home inspection than a standard visual inspection?

We can now evaluate potential problem areas that may have moisture issues, detect areas that do not have adequate insulation and even detect areas that may have pest infestation.

Thermal imaging can also help detect Electrical problems, Plumbing related issues and issues related to improperly installed Heating and Air Conditioning equipment.

Although there are no guarantees that a Thermal Imager will find every issue, using a Thermal Imager narrows the chances of missing critical problems during manual inspections. Let Colonial Home Inspections take the worry out of the purchase of your next home.
