Infrared: Invaluable Asset in
the Home Inspector's Toolkit
Infrared (IR) inspection with a FLIR B-Series infrared camera is a powerful and
noninvasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of buildings residential or commercial. It quickly identifies problem areas that can't be seen
by the naked eye and eliminates older, more costly inspection techniques that
require lots of labor and destructive probing.

used to view different radiant flooring heat

“With a FLIR ThermaCAM IR camera, you can see
problems immediately and produce sharp–looking reports fast
and easy - it's a major competitive advantage!”
Ron Lucier, Infrared Training Center
The B-Series also allows the home inspector to immediately download full color infrared or thermal
pictures into sharp–looking inspection reports – providing tangible value that clients and customers
will easily comprehend. IR gives the home inspector a great new tool that not only saves time and
money, but also helps to elevate him or her as a true technology professional.

shows the path of a serious leak from
a washing machine on the third floor,
which is completely hidden within the

Thermography enables us to see and measure heat. All materials on earth
emit heat energy, in the infrared portion of the spectrum. Unfortunately,
the unaided human eye cannot see in the infrared. Thermographic, or
simply thermal, images allow the user to see thermally, revealing anomalies
that in turn identify problems in buildings and their component electrical,
mechanical, plumbing, and waterproofing systems. Today's lightweight and
rugged infrared cameras can not only see in real-time, but can also record
infrared images and measure the temperatures of target objects quite
accurately-to within 1/10 of a Fahrenheit degree or better. Points of possible
concern show up clearly as hot or cold in relation to their surroundings.
Recorded thermal images can be easily inserted into reports, and e-mailed,
greatly facilitating communications among trades, attorneys, and other
professionals and serving as invaluable, rational, evidentiary data in cases
