Technology
Our Inspections Incorporate Thermal Imaging
In terms of energy loss, an IR camera can detect:
- heat loss and air infiltration in walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors;
- damaged and/or malfunctioning radiant heating systems;
- air-conditioner compressor leaks;
- under-fastening and/or missing framing members, and other structural defects that can lead to energy loss; and
- broken seals in double-paned windows.
In terms of detecting moisture intrusion, an IR camera can locate:
- plumbing leaks;
- hidden roof leaks before they cause serious damage;
- missing, damaged and/or wet insulation; and
- water and moisture intrusion around penetrations and at the foundation and building envelope that could lead to structural damage and mold.
IR cameras are equally effective at locating hot spots in the home, including:
- circuit breakers in need of immediate replacement;
- overloaded and undersized circuits;
- overheated electrical equipment and components; and
- electrical faults before they cause a fire.
Additionally, based on the color gradients that thermal images provide, an inspector can locate:
- possible pest infestation, as revealed by energy loss through shelter tubes left by boring wood-destroying insects;
- the presence of intruders, such as rats, mice and other larger pests hiding within the structure and detected because of their heat signature that the IR camera captures; and
- dangerous flue leaks, which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning of the home’s residents.
Sewer Scope Inspections
The purpose of a sewer scope inspection:
• A sewer scope is a video inspection of
the lateral sewer line from the house
at/near the foundation to the city / HOA
tap or septic tank
• The purpose of a sewer scope is to
discover and report defects that were
visible in the lateral sewer line; the
scope will typically also identify the
material used as the lateral sewer line.
• As a sewer scope is a visual
observation of the plumbing system /
lateral sewer line, as no modifications or
repairs are performed, most jurisdictions
do not require the sewer scope
inspector to be a plumber.
