Do you realize there could be mold sitting behind the wall nearest to you right now? The problem with most home owners is they have absolutely no idea what’s behind the walls in their home. It usually takes visual signs of moisture ingress through your interior walls to take action on a problem that you ‘just noticed’. The interesting part is that by the time you notice any issue, it’s too late… the problem would most likely have been manifesting for weeks or months before you noticed it.
Thermal imaging (in combination with a moisture meter) is a relatively new method for detecting signs of moisture ingress in the wall of your home long before the issue becomes visible to the human eye. Detecting leaks early in your home with thermal imaging could be compared to you or I visiting the dentist… if you slacken off and don’t get a regular check up, you develop holes and rot in your teeth which requires big $$$ to fix! Your home is no different.
Undetected moisture behind your walls can rot the timber framework and cause structural integrity issues in a given area.
Using a local certified thermal imaging inspector to scan your home for signs of moisture could be the best investment you could make in your home. Not only is timber rot and decay a potential problem, but a moist damp home is also an unhealthy home.
Ask yourself this… “Do I honestly know if there is moisture ingress in the insulation and/or wall cavity in my home that could be affecting my health?” If you answered “no,” then it may be in your best interest to to hire our inspector to take a look at your home.
Most home owners think that thermal imaging cameras are used on helicopters for car chases at night. This thought is correct, but now infrared thermal imaging cameras have been tweaked to perform non-invasive leak and heat loss inspections on your home! It’s fast, efficient and could save the equity in your home from being absorbed into repair costs caused by late leak detection.
