Thermal Imaging Saves Time and Money

Inspect it All uses Thermal Imaging with every inspection
that we do for our customers.

Many innovative technologies developed for security, military and space exploration applications later find their way into industry applications that benefit us every day. That is certainly the case with thermal imaging. Breakthroughs in the late 1990s enabled manufacturers of thermal imaging cameras to marry an uncooled detector to earlier TI cameras, so that lower costs of what is technically known as a microbolometer could be brought to market. One of the major advantages of the microbolometer is that it has no moving parts and is therefore less susceptible to breakdowns. It is also less expensive to produce which allowed thermal imaging camera manufacturers to bring the price of their products down considerably.

Since that time, thermal imaging technology has allowed Inspect it All technicians to check for water intrusion without cutting through drywall or tearing up carpet. Its use has been a cost and time saver in locating and cost-effectively repairing water damage. Today, Inspect it All technicians use this fascinating technology in many other beneficial ways, quickly and easily showing home owners, home buyers and realtors more vivid photographic evidence of any issues. We include our images in your report. Today’s thermal imaging detects failing electrical circuits and breakers as well as leaks in concrete foundations.

Does it save time – yes! Does it save money – lots! Can it help you and us better serve home and business owners in their time of need – of course! Inspect it All technicians are fully trained and equipped to bring the benefits of modern thermal imaging to every inspection, speeding up the process and saving time and money. Never hesitate to ask for this innovative technology when and wherever it can serve your needs.

5 Winter Roof Damage Issues Homeowners Need to Know

Winter can be especially harsh on a house's roof, and it’s almost never a good idea to simply wait for spring before addressing the issues that the presence of snow and ice on your roof can cause. Five of the main winter roof damage problems t hat homeowners should be aware of are listed below, along with some advice on how to best manage them. 1. Ice Dam Formation When warm air rises from your heated living spaces, it warms the shingles of your roof and the snow that covers it. This leads to snow melting and dripping down to the colder edges of the roof where it refreezes as ice. Once the ice grows thick enough, it backs up further snow-melt behind it, causing water to seep under the shingles, and eventually into your home through leakage points. Leaks are made the more likely when backed up water freezes and thaws, working its way into nooks and crannies and expanding them. The number one way to prevent an ice dam is by insulating and ventilating your attic, bu...

Keep Employees Healthy This Winter With Better Air Quality

Employers or employees, we sometimes forget that half our lives are being spent in a workspace that is enclosed, and without any exposure to the outside environment. In short, employers and employees are breathing office air for eight hours or more during the day. And when that indoor air is poor quality, health is impacted. Allergy symptoms can be aggravated, worker performance can be diminished, and sick days can start to rise. For all kinds of reasons, it makes good business sense to keep employees healthy in their work environment with excellent quality indoor air. Air quality professionals often pinpoint poor ventilation as a major problem in the workplace. It simply means that fresh outside air isn’t circulating properly throughout a given space. Even worse, a poorly performing HVAC system might be circulating air pollutants instead of cleaning the air, as it should be doing. Optimum air ventilation in any living space is critical in providing fresh air, while reducing the p...

Understanding Black Mold and Condensation Issues in Houses

As the summer heat sets in, many homeowners find themselves dealing with a hidden adversary: black mold. While it’s often associated with damp, dark conditions, black mold can thrive in warm, humid environments, making summer a prime season for its growth. Let’s explore how condensation contributes to this issue and what you can do to prevent mold problems in your home. The Science of Condensation Condensation occurs when warm, humid air comes into contact with cooler surfaces, causing moisture to form. This is particularly common in the summer when the outside temperature is high, but the inside of your house may be cooler due to air conditioning. Common areas where condensation accumulates include: Windows : The temperature difference between the outside air and the glass can lead to moisture forming on the surface. Walls and Ceilings : Poorly insulated walls may cool down significantly, allowing condensation to form on them. Bathrooms and Kitchens : Areas that generate steam from s...
