Infrared Thermal Inspection

Cranbrook Pest Control offers infrared thermal imaging home inspections at a reasonable price. If you are planning to list your home with a realtor, a thermal scan can spot potential problems that a home inspector may find. Identifying issues within a structure before they become major problems can save money over time. Thermal imaging can also help you control heating and cooling costs by showing where energy is being lost and by confirming that insulation has been installed correctly.

Spot Problems Before They Start

Our inspections can reveal potential pest invasions, moisture intrusion that may lead to mould, hidden water damage, roof moisture, plumbing leaks, missing insulation, leaks in furnace and boiler venting, electrical hot spots, foundation cracks, radiant floor leaks, and window and door seal issues.

Infrared thermography allows us to see and measure heat energy that is emitted by walls, ceilings, and foundations. The thermal images, called thermograms, can identify a wide range of problems that are not visible to the naked eye. Different issues produce distinct heat signatures, helping us locate concerns such as damaged insulation, water intrusion, and pest activity accurately and efficiently.

Pinpoint Infestation Treatment

Thermal imaging also helps us precisely locate pest nests hidden inside walls or other concealed areas. For example, a heat signature within a wall cavity may reveal a wasp nest. With this information, we can treat the area accurately without cutting into the wall. A small hole is drilled into the cavity and product is introduced by injection, rendering the nest inactive with minimal disruption.

Save on Energy Costs

Thermal technology is also a valuable tool for improving energy efficiency. Roof images can reveal points of entry for pests such as cluster flies or bats, as well as areas of insulation loss that allow significant heat to escape. Entryway scans may show that door seals are worn or missing, and replacing them can immediately reduce energy bills.

By identifying problems like these early, you can prevent costly repairs and make your home more comfortable and efficient.

Complete Reports

Every infrared inspection includes a detailed report with images and explanations of all findings. The report helps you understand exactly what issues were discovered and how they can be resolved, giving you clear next steps for maintenance, repairs, or energy improvements.
