Chattanooga Thermal Imaging on home inspections

A valid question is, why do you want a thermal imaging inspection and are you willing to pay the added cost for a properly conducted infrared inspection? Is there something at the property that raised a red flag and caused the need for an infrared inspection? Most buyers elect for a standard inspection by a licensed inspector as a first step to screen for defects during the purchase process. During the inspection, important areas of the property will be evaluated including: the attic, roof surfaces and inside electrical panels with deadfront cover removed. We look in the attic for signs of moisture intrusion, hidden damage and missing insulation. We access the roof surface to discover evidence of covering failures and flashing damage. At the interior inspection we are looking for moisture evidence at ceilings, walls and floors. An infrared inspection does not replace a thorough home inspection performed by a qualified inspector.
