Thermography Inspections

Every Conley home inspection includes some basic thermal imaging. We rely on thermal imaging to inspect behind walls and under floorboards. Thermography (infrared energy) measures material surface temperatures using infrared video and still cameras. The camera aids the inspector by showing temperature differences and abnormalities which can be caused by moisture or heat loss. Note: The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that a thermographic scan be done prior to purchasing any home.

Infrared cameras provide fast, accurate, building diagnosis, and helps detect a wide range of home problems not normally seen in a visual inspection.
