THERMAL IMAGING IN OHIO
Infrared (thermal imaging) is an advanced, non-invasive technology that allows the inspector to show homeowners things about their homes that can’t be revealed using conventional inspection methods. This technology can show you things normal visual inspection methods can’t. Ancillary inspection reports are just as important as the reports you generate for standard home inspections. For something as specialized as a thermal imaging inspection, the information you present must meet your clients’ needs for information they can use and act on.
AN INFRARED INSPECTION CAN IDENTIFY AND DOCUMENT MOISTURE INTRUSION, ENERGY LOSS, AND EVEN UNEXPECTED HOT SPOTS.
