THERMAL IMAGING


Thermal Imaging is a new non-destructive testing technology that provides our Home Inspector with a view of the property that was unable to be seen in the past.

With Thermal Imaging we are now able to monitor the following items:
  • Water Infiltration
  • Excessive Moisture in materials
  • Electrical Inspection                            
  • HVAC Applications
  • Pipe Locations
  • Pest Infestation
 Moisture in building materials can destroy structureal integrity and nurture mold. The first step in moisture problem remediation is to quickly and accurately locate and remove all sources of moisture. Thermal Imaging cameras instantly show you what's wet and what's dry. IR cameras can instantly find the ultimate source with little or no physical disassembly of the premises and minimal disturbance of inhabitants.

Thermal Imaging infrared cameras are the inspection assets preferred by building experts for fast, reilable, accurate building diagnosis in the entire range of building problems, from post-castastrophe fire and flood investigations to chronic leaks and moisture problems.

AGF HOME INSPECTIONS uses a FLIR B50infrared camera which is lightweight and rugged for use in the field.
