Unveil the Hidden Truth of Your Home with Our Thermal Imaging Inspection Service
Service features
What if you could see the invisible problems in your home before they become costly repairs? As Safe Living Inspections, we use state-of-the-art thermal imaging technology to do just that. Our infrared cameras act as a non-invasive diagnostic tool, revealing hidden issues that are impossible to detect with the naked eye. Protect your investment and ensure your home is safe, efficient, and well-built with our comprehensive thermal imaging service.
Pinpoint Hidden Moisture Intrusion
Water damage is a homeowner's nightmare. Thermal imaging can detect hidden moisture from leaks in roofs, plumbing, walls, and around windows long before it causes structural damage or mold growth, saving you thousands in repairs.
Improve Energy Efficiency and Save Money
Discover exactly where your home is losing valuable heated or cooled air. We can identify insufficient insulation, air leaks around doors/windows, and thermal bypasses. Fixing these issues lowers your energy bills and increases home comfort.
Identify Electrical Hazards Before They Cause a Fire
Overheating electrical components are a major fire risk. Our infrared scans can detect hot spots in circuit breakers, outlets, and wiring within your walls, allowing for repairs to be made before a dangerous situation develops.
Non-Invasive and Comprehensive
Unlike traditional methods that require drilling holes or tearing down walls, a thermal scan is completely non-destructive. We get a comprehensive view of your home’s condition quickly, safely, and without any mess.
How It's Done: The Thermal Imaging Process
Don’t let hidden problems turn into major expenses. Schedule your professional thermal imaging inspection with Safe Living Inspections today and gain peace of mind about your largest investment.
- Scheduling & Preparation
- We schedule your inspection at a time that works for you. For the most accurate results, we may ask you to help create a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the home (e.g., running the heat or AC for a few hours beforehand)
- On-Site Scanning with Advanced Technology
- Our certified inspector will conduct a thorough scan of your property’s interior and exterior using a high-resolution infrared camera. This camera translates temperature differences into a detailed color map of your home.
- Real-Time Analysis & Documentation
- As we scan, we analyze the thermal patterns in real-time. We document all significant findings with both thermal and standard digital photos, creating a clear record of any anomalies.
Popular questions
Thermal imaging is a powerful technology, and it’s natural to have questions about how it works and how it can benefit you. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions we receive to help you understand the process and value of a thermal inspection
What exactly can a thermal imaging camera detect?
Thermal cameras detect surface temperature differences. These differences can reveal a variety of issues, including:
Heat loss and air leaks
Missing, damaged, or settling insulation
Water intrusion and moisture buildup
Overheating electrical components
Pest infestations (like rodents or bees in walls)
Structural anomalies
Is thermal imaging invasive or destructive?
Not at all! That’s one of its greatest advantages. The process involves simply scanning the surfaces of your walls, ceilings, and floors. There is no need to tear anything down, making it a safe and worry-free service.
Will the inspection find EVERY problem in my house?
While extremely powerful, thermal imaging is a diagnostic tool, not a crystal ball. It identifies temperature anomalies that suggest a problem. Some issues hidden deep behind very thick walls or in areas with no temperature difference may not be visible. It is most effective when used as part of a full home inspection.
When is the best time to have a thermal inspection done?
The best time is when there is at least a 10°C (18°F) temperature difference between the inside and outside of the home. This makes the thermal patterns much clearer. For detecting heat loss, winter is ideal. For detecting AC leaks or overheated roofing, summer can be very effective.
Is this service only for old homes?
Absolutely not! While great for uncovering issues in older homes, it’s also incredibly valuable for new construction. It can verify that insulation was installed correctly, ensure HVAC systems are properly sealed, and check for plumbing leaks before the builder’s warranty expires. It’s a smart check for any home
