What is the advantage of having an infrared certified home inspector using a thermal imaging camera as part of your home inspection?
During a typical home inspection, there are problems that an infrared scan can expose that could otherwise go unseen. The most common defect I find is water intrusion. A slow leak either from an exterior or interior water source may not appear on the interior surface of the home for a long time. A properly performed infrared scan can typically find these types of leaks. Water intrusion is one of my main concerns.
