We now have infrared technology!

We use a FLIR i-7 infrared camera to check for water leaks, temperatures and to help us give you an even better understanding of the home. The camera is used in different places and in different ways in our packaged inspection deals that we offer, be sure to call us for full details.

Here are some photos that I have taken with the infrared camera and hope they will show you what the camera can do.

The camera is not Superman's Eyes, it detects heat waves and we had to be trained to learn how to decipher what the camera is showing us. The camera is a great new tool in our arsenal of tools that help us to better inspect the home you are looking to buy!

  the IR camera is good to measure temperatures from air ducts such as in this photo the hot air is seen in white coming from air register

  The IR camera shows the furnace flue pipe, that is hidden inside the wall.
