About Infrared Thermography Inspection & Surveys

Our team of experts at TopBuild Home Services is certified to use infrared technology to detect anomalies in a home that could cause air leakage and comfort issues.

Non-Destructive Air Infiltration Detection

Used in conjunction with other testing protocols and equipment, our IR technologies can determine air infiltration and exfiltration in a building envelope to determine root causes of the problems that may affect comfort and indoor air quality.

Targeted Infrared Moisture Issue Detection

Used with other non-destructive instruments like moisture meters and humidistats, IR scans can determine areas of water leakage and moisture control issues. This can also be used as a quality control measure, not at a final inspection, to ensure there are no future or present problems with moisture management and quality control.

Targeted Solutions for Home Comfort Troubleshooting

Infrared Inspection for Home Comfort Diagnosis

Our certified infrared personnel can use infrared technology to detect anomalies in the building that could cause comfort issues such as hot spots, cold spots, and more. Used in conjunction with other testing procedures, we can evaluate and determine the source or issue in the home or building.

Air Infiltration Detection

With the use of other diagnostic tools in conjunction with the infrared camera, our technical building science experts can use equipment such as a building envelope tightness testing fan to gauge and evaluate air infiltration and exfiltration through the building envelope.

Infrared Detection of Moisture Issues

Infrared thermography, used with other measurement tools such as moisture meters and humidistats, can determine areas of leaks, heavy moisture, and moisture infiltration. These non-destructive and non-intrusive techniques are preferred to destructive methods and can offer a diagnostic procedure and reduce the risk of destructive issues or repair to materials.

More Questions?

What is an infrared survey and/or inspection used for?

An infrared inspection or survey is used to discover air infiltration, exfiltration, moisture or leak problems, leaky HVAC ducts and leaks in sinks, in walls or in other wet areas of a home or building.

What is infrared thermography?

Infrared thermography is a non-destructive method of measuring heat in or on a surface using an infrared camera. By detecting different levels of heat flow, an experienced Infrared Thermographer can diagnose issues in a building ranging from heat loss through a wall assembly to the presence of moisture and airflow.

How are infrared inspections conducted in a home or building?

There are several stages in which an inspection can take place, but the most common is at the time of a discovered issue, or on a pre-close inspection for a home or building to assess if the home or building is experiencing any issues. These issues may include air infiltration, exfiltration, moisture or leak problems, leaky HVAC ducts, HVAC lines and leaks in sinks, the laundry room, kitchen, in walls or in other wet areas of a home or building.
