Infrared Inspection

Infrared Home Inspection
All inspections performed by Home Quest Inspections are improved with Infrared Thermal Imaging, which puts the latest infrared inspection technology to assist in finding problems and deficiencies. Our infrared cameras were originally created for the military to enhance night vision. By applying this technology to home inspections and commercial building inspections, an infrared camera can frequently detect potential issues that are beneath the finished surfaces of the home, providing you the chance to repair them before they become critical problems.Home Inspection Fulshear
Infrared thermal imaging technology is invaluable when applied to home inspections because it can frequently spot hidden problems. Some issues that are identified by infrared technology consist of water intrusion in the walls, floors, and ceilings, plumbing leaks, overloaded electrical components, and more. Thermal imaging improves our ability to determine the source of energy losses, moisture intrusion, and recognize other issues that may be more difficult to find with a normal visual inspection.Home Inspection Fulshear
An infrared camera uses radio graphic infrared to detect very small variations in the temperature of surfaces. The images an infrared camera captures are so detailed that you cans see small variations in temperature on the surfaces of walls, floors, ceilings, and more. Those temperature contrasts indicate hidden characteristics of a home, such as the presence or absence of insulation, the location and connectivity of water pipes, and whether your home has energy leaks among other things. Because the infrared camera sees temperature differences, the timing of an infrared home inspection in the summer months, when the components of a building are warmed up can be harder than in the winter depending on where your home is located. The sun and wind can change the temperature of the roof, the walls, and other components of a home and it can make it harder for the infrared camera to detect the temperature differences it need to point out problems with the structure or systems.Home Inspection Fulshear
At Home Quest Inspections we take a systematic and in-depth approach to each and every inspection.
We only uses high end, high-resolution infrared cameras from FLIR, the world leader in infrared thermography equipment. Our emphasis is quality, not quantity, therefore we limit the quantity of inspections that we book and therefore gives our inspectors more time to examine with infrared. You are welcome to be present to watch and ask questions throughout the course of the inspection. In the end of the inspection We are happy to give an in-person walk through demonstration of key findings to be sure that you are familiar with the issues, their locations and the possible impacts they may have to the home.
