Infrared Thermal Imaging
Infrared Thermal Imaging
At Cuyahoga Valley Inspections, we use advanced infrared thermal imaging to detect hidden issues within homes that may not be visible during a standard inspection. This non-invasive technology allows us to identify temperature variations that can indicate moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, electrical hotspots, and more.
Water damage is one of the most common hidden problems in a home. Infrared imaging helps locate leaks behind walls, under floors, and around windows before they cause major structural issues. Identifying moisture early can prevent costly repairs and reduce the risk of mold growth.
Insulation deficiencies can lead to significant energy loss, making your home less efficient and comfortable. Our thermal imaging assessments reveal areas where heat is escaping in the winter or infiltrating in the summer, helping homeowners make informed improvements to their insulation and sealing.
Electrical hotspots are another critical issue that thermal imaging can detect. Overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, and overheating electrical panels can pose fire hazards. By pinpointing these risks early, we help homeowners address electrical concerns before they become dangerous.
Infrared thermal imaging provides an extra layer of protection when buying, selling, or maintaining a home. Schedule a thermal inspection with Cuyahoga Valley Inspections today and get a deeper look into your home’s condition.
What to Expect from Your Inspection
Whether you are buying, selling or maintaining your home, Cuyahoga Valley Inspections provides professional and quality service from the moment you call us. Our certified home inspectors will walk through your home with you and teach you as much as you want to learn. We strictly follow the Standards of Practice for home inspectors established by InterNACHI, the leading home inspection association.
After we walk through the home together, we will explain the general condition of the home and systems with you and your agent. We will talk through any major issues that need to be addressed sooner rather than later. We will also mention the items that you will want to keep an eye on for deferred maintenance. All of this will be detailed in our easy-to-read report, which will be delivered in HTML and/or PDF format. From that report, you will be able to see the items we discussed, with images for reference. In addition, our home inspections include complementary floorplans.
