An infrared camera is able to produce thermal images providing the inspector additional information on the area he his inspecting. By using thermal imaging you add another layer to your inspection. Infrared thermography can provide information which may not be visible to the naked eye. It is possible to detect issues regarding heating, cooling, moisture, electrical and insulation.

Laminate flooring with no visible appearance of moisture from normal view.

Suspected moisture (later confirmed) visible under the flooring using the infrared camera.

Infrared thermography detects a temperature difference at the surface of the evaluated areas. This is not an X-ray or similar technology. An infrared scan cannot detect conditions that do not produce a temperature difference at the surface of the evaluated areas. The thermal imaging device cannot detect conditions behind any obstructions including furniture, pictures or anything that will obscure the surface of the area to be evaluated.
