The Benefits of Thermal Imaging and Why You Need It:

Thermal imaging is a relatively new technology that only a select few home inspection companies can claim to offer. Luckily for you, AllMax home inspectors are thoroughly trained to employ thermal imaging in analyzing your home. But what exactly can thermal imaging do for you and do you really need it?

Thermal imaging uses infrared cameras to narrow in on areas in your home that are not energy-efficient. For example, AllMax Toronto home inspectors can assess whether your heating systems are performing optimally or if there are functional shortcomings. Areas permitting energy loss such as framing defects or inadequate window sealing can also be highlighted using thermal imaging.

Thermal imaging can even help zone in on one of the most common problems plaguing homeowners: moisture intrusion. From leaky pipes to bad roofing, an AllMax Toronto home inspector can highlight these culprits by simply using an infrared camera.

An infrared camera in the hands of an AllMax home inspector becomes a powerful tool to even identify overheating in your home. Resolving these issues early will prevent future catastrophes from occurring that may endanger your family.

Be warned of problems that are yet to happen as well once you employ thermal imaging as part of your next Toronto home inspection. Energy loss in your home for instance can be due to an insect infestation that wreaks havoc with the integrity of your home’s wooden skeleton. With IR cameras, even rodent infestations can be identified due to the heat given off from their bodies. Flue leaks that can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning can also be highlighted and addressed using thermal imaging.

Infrared technology is a wise investment for any homeowner because it can narrow in on some of the most pressing financial and safety issues that burden a homeowner regarding their property. With an AllMax home inspection in Toronto, you can be sure that you are getting the best in the business. Your safety has no price and neither does your peace of mind.
