Issues our infrared inspections identify and reveal

Kelly Inspections infrared thermography inspection allows us to get to the root of the problem instead of simply identifying the symptoms. You can count on us when you need:

Moisture detections

An infrared home inspection can help detect hidden sources of water intrusion. Usually, water will give up heat at a slower rate than the surrounding roof materials due to its high thermal capacity. This makes it easy for infrared thermography to show areas of accumulated moisture. The Inspection is best done in the evening when the temperatures outside start to fall. Moisture detection catch:

  • Hidden roof leaks that could cause microbial growth infestation
  • Leaks in the plumbing system
  • Damaged, missing, or wet insulation
  • Possible pest infestation

Electrical faults

Identifying the source of electrical faults can help in preventing injury and property damage. Kelly Inspections has invested in state of the art infrared cameras, and our professionals are experienced in pinpointing the exact positions of damages to electrical systems. These issues include missing insulation, rodent infestations, ventilation glitches, foundation cracks, and heat/energy loss. Other hot spots include:

  • Overloaded and undersized circuits
  • Circuit breakers that require replacement
  • Overheated electrical components and equipment
  • Leaks in air conditioner compressor
  • Damaged and malfunctioning radiant heating components

Structural defects

  • Broken seals in double-paned windows
  • Heat loss and air infiltration in ceilings, walls, windows, doors, and floors
