Infrared Thermal Inspections
At PeakPRO Home Inspection in Kannapolis, North Carolina, I spot details that others might overlook by utilizing an infrared camera in every home inspection.
What is Infrared Thermal Imaging?
Infrared thermal imaging is a technology that captures the infrared radiation emitted by objects and converts it into a visible image. It works on the principle that all objects emit infrared radiation based on their temperature.
Why Get an Infrared Inspection?
Thermal imaging uncovers hidden issues such as moisture intrusion, electrical problems, and insulation gaps. This cutting-edge technology enables early detection, safeguarding your investment and maintaining a safe, efficient property.
How Infrared Cameras Detect Temperature Differences
Thermal imaging detects infrared radiation, which has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than visible light. Advanced sensors in thermal cameras capture this radiation, converting it into visual heat maps based on temperature variations.
These images reveal critical temperature differences, uncovering hidden issues like leaks, electrical faults, and structural damage undetectable to the naked eye. By highlighting these variations, thermal imaging enhances inspections, enabling early problem detection and preserving property integrity.
