Examples of infrared inspection applications:

• Detect moisture Issues.
• Detect plumbing issues.
• Locate HVAC Problem Areas or Heat Loss.
• Check energy efficiency.
• Quickly locate areas of cost savings.
• Verify proper systems operation.
• Locate electrical problems.
• Quickly diagnose building conditions.
• Easy non-invasive/non-destructive testing.

What are the benefits of a thermal image inspection with my home inspection?

Thermal imaging is an advanced, non-destructive inspection technology. With this technology, we can see beyond the spectrum of "natural light" (the light that bounces off all objects we can see with the naked eye) and see the temperature variances of surfaces. We have included this technology in the building inspection industry providing an unequaled service very few home inspectors have yet to offer. This technology will take your Nook 'n' Cranny home inspection to the next level.  

What is Infrared?

In the EM (ElectroMagnetic) light scale Below; we can see that infrared begins where visible light stops. The visible red colours graduate into the infrared spectrum, which is the infrared energy reflected from the surface of an object. We can also see that IR is nowhere near the X-ray spectrum, so IR is not like an X-ray.

Thermal image inspection fees for building evaluation or single problem resolution: $135.00/hour, 2 HR minimum. Additional mileage and travel time may apply outside a 50 KM radius from Hamilton city centre.
