Sure Sight Home Inspection was the first home inspection company in the Triangle to offer infrared thermal imaging. By understanding the thermal patterns created by different building materials, a trained thermographer can use thermal imaging during a home inspection to evaluate insulation, electrical wiring, and water penetration. We offer a general thermal imaging scan of the home as an add-on service in any of our full home inspections or pre-listing/maintenance consultations.
What is infrared thermal imaging?
All objects whose temperatures are above absolute zero (–459.67 degrees Fahrenheit) emit infrared radiation. Infrared thermal imaging uses a specialized camera to create images from infrared radiation (heat) instead of visible light. Thus, thermal imaging allows us to see differentials in temperature that are invisible to the naked eye.
