Thermographic inspections are fast becoming a standard pre-purchase test for homebuyers.
It’s a great way to see what’s really going on with your home, and not just what the naked eye sees. There’s a lot going on here that you don’t realise, and sometimes it can mean the difference between buying a house and looking elsewhere. A thorough house inspection is one thing, but a thermographic inspection is something else altogether.

What is a thermographic inspection?
A thermographic or thermal imaging inspection is a non-intrusive, comprehensive look at the heat distribution of your home. These types of inspections are becoming more and more popular, especially for people considering buying a new home. With the rise in energy costs and a tougher economy, people are also looking into how to save money where heating is concerned.
How does it work?
By using a special infrared camera to inspect your house, we can literally see where the heat is escaping from. The human eye can only see a very small section of the Electromagnetic Spectrum; what we call visible light. Just above visible light is infrared light, what we would typically call “heat”. A thermographic camera can see this part of the spectrum, and so can show us the heat in your home.
Why are thermographic inspections important?
By being able to see the heat distribution of your home, we can then stop heat from escaping. There might be a giant hole in your insulation and you would have no idea about it. A thermographic inspection allows us to visibly see the warning signs that need attention.
How does it help?

Our thermal imaging inspection is also a great way to detect moisture build up or water damage. Excess water leads to mould, and that’s when things become serious.

The other scenario is you’re planning on buying a house, and call Heat Seekers for a pre-purchase thermographic inspection. This is an absolute necessity before buying. Before committing to mortgage payments that will last for decades, you need to be sure this is the right home for you. A thermographic inspection can show that there are no serious problems that will turn your new dream home into a nightmare.
