Advantages Of House Thermal Imaging New Fairfield CT

By Marci Glover


People who own homes or are considering the purchase of a home often find it is difficult to know for certain what the overall condition of the structure may be. There may be hidden issues in the walls, plumbing, or attic areas that are not easily detected by the naked eye. That is why house thermal imaging New Fairfield CT is one of the most valuable tools available to homeowners and future homeowners alike.

Physical inspections only identify defects and problems that are visible to the naked eye. Using infrared thermo-graph images is a far more efficient means of finding potential problem areas. With this technology unseen problems such as moisture build up, nests of termites, and electrical issues can be detected and repaired before major damage occurs. It can also detect areas where heat or cool air is escaping from your building.

Many time plumbing leaks occur between the walls of structures. With this method these leaks are easily identified for repair. When leaks go unattended they create a breeding spot for termites and dangerous molds to thrive in. Leaks can also weaken the infrastructure of a building through dry rot in wood or erosion of soil that can cause sinking of walls or corners. All of this can be accomplished without having to bore holes into the walls or floors of the building trying to find the problem.

Using this system roof damage can easily be found. Leaks are located by the heat that is escaping from the roof and appear in the images as hot spots. Thermo-graphic images also show any area of the building where the insulation has become wet or is missing. Repairing these two issues can save enough in utility costs to pay for the cost of the inspection for most people.

Another use for infrared inspections is to detect hot spots in wiring or at a breaker station. It can quickly identify any breaker that is overloading and in jeopardy of causing a fire or break down. Hot wires hidden in the walls can also be detected without using invasive techniques.

If your HVAC system has loose or ill fitting duct work or parts it can rob your building of benefits of heat or cooling from the system. Infrared cameras will point out if and where you are losing air flow from your HVAC unit. Repairing these problems can significantly increase the air flow in your building and reduce the energy use and costs overall.

This system is a powerful tool for anyone who owns or plans to own a home. The inspections are non-invasive and many times are completed from outside the building. They have the capacity to pin point any issues that need attention and the reports are printed for the consumers use. One of the best features remains in the fact that there is no need to damage your walls or floor to get the information it provides.

Regardless of whether you currently own property or hope to purchase a home in the near future using an infrared detection system to inspect the property is a smart decision. Many hidden issues are detected early and can be dealt with before the damage is too great. With the technology to see exactly where a problem is located it will be easier to maintain a safe and sound structure while helping the environment by using less energy for heat and cooling.
