INFRARED AT EVERY INSPECTION

As InterNACHI® Infrared Certified® Thermography Inspectors, we use infrared cameras in every inspection, giving us the ability to see things other inspectors can't.

Can You See What We See?

Infrared inspections, available through Maple Home Inspections, LLC, are non-destructive testing methods employing infrared cameras to detect heat anomalies and issues in various components. They're valuable for identifying electrical and mechanical faults, water ingress, and energy losses in industrial and commercial buildings. With thermal imaging, temperature differences invisible to the human eye are revealed, enabling early detection of potential problems, just like Professional House Inspections and Pre-Purchase Home Inspection services.

Our experienced team offers comprehensive infrared inspection services customized to your requirements, ensuring high-quality results to keep your equipment running safely and efficiently, with guidance from our Tips for Homebuyers Book provided by Maple Home Inspections, LLC.

We See Things Other Inspectors Can't

As InterNACHI® Infrared Certified® Thermography Inspectors at Maple Home Inspections, LLC, we hold the Infrared Certified® qualification, utilizing cutting-edge infrared cameras to uncover hidden issues not easily visible to the naked eye. These state-of-the-art cameras translate heat signatures into color-coded images, revealing higher temperatures as lighter colors and lower temperatures and wet areas as darker colors.

Through this process, similar to Professional House Inspections and Pre-Purchase Home Inspection services, we can identify sources of energy loss, detect areas of moisture intrusion, locate dangerous hot spots in the electrical system, and uncover other problems, including wood-destroying pest and rodent infestations, as well as flue leaks in the chimney that can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.

With our infrared capabilities, we provide comprehensive inspections to ensure the safety and efficiency of your property, with guidance from our Tips for Homebuyers Book provided by Maple Home Inspections, LLC.

InterNACHI® Infrared Certified® Thermography Inspector

Our clients in Arvada, CO, often reach out to us to investigate water stains on their ceilings and determine the source of the water. While thermography can confirm water presence, it's essential to complement it with high-quality moisture meters for accurate results tailored for you. In the attics above the ceilings, we search for signs of roof leaks, HVAC duct condensation, or pipe leaks, but relying solely on the camera may not always lead to immediate problem identification, similar to Pre-Purchase Home Inspection and Professional House Inspection services. Instead, the camera provides valuable indications that, combined with other data, help pinpoint the defects' sources.

Thermal imaging cameras are valuable tools, but they are not magical solutions. Proper usage requires knowledge and training, which we have obtained through InterNACHI® certification. Our training in building science, understanding hydrodynamics and thermodynamics, equips us to use the infrared cameras. We are well-versed in the physics of thermal imaging, thermal imaging equipment, building science basics, and thermal imaging applications, backed by practical case histories.

Thermal imaging involves detecting temperature differences in objects. It enables the evaluation of building envelopes to identify thermal patterns indicating issues related to energy loss, latent moisture, electrical problems, or structural details, as well as the unique requirements.

Using infrared cameras professionally goes beyond mere ownership. It demands the thoroughness to operate them correctly and interpret the images accurately. Just as owning a trowel doesn't make you a mason, owning an infrared camera doesn't make you a thermographer. Our knowledge and experience ensure that we use this valuable tool effectively to serve our clients best, ensuring the safety and efficiency of their properties with guidance from our Tips for Homebuyers Book provided by Maple Home Inspections, LLC.
