See What's Hidden Behind Your Walls

Thermal imaging uses infrared technology to detect temperature differences that reveal hidden problems in your home. Water leaks, moisture intrusion, missing insulation, and even electrical issues create distinct heat signatures that our thermal cameras can detect. This non-invasive technology allows us to pinpoint problems without cutting into walls or floors, saving you time and money on repairs.

Our Thermal Imaging Services Include

Water Leak Detection

Locate hidden water leaks in walls, ceilings, and floors without destructive exploratory demolition. Moisture creates temperature differences visible on thermal cameras.

Moisture Intrusion

Identify areas where water is entering your home through the foundation, walls, or roof before visible damage occurs.

Insulation Gaps

Detect missing or inadequate insulation in walls, attics, and crawl spaces that can increase energy costs and cause condensation issues.

Plumbing Leaks

Find leaking pipes behind walls or under floors. Hot water line leaks are especially visible due to their temperature contrast.

Air Leak Detection

Identify drafts and air infiltration around windows, doors, outlets, and other areas where conditioned air is escaping.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Comprehensive thermal scans before buying a home to reveal hidden moisture problems, insulation deficiencies, and potential issues.

Our Thermal Imaging Process

Initial Consultation

We discuss your concerns, symptoms you've noticed (stains, odors, drafts), and areas of the home you want inspected.

Thermal Scanning

Using professional infrared cameras, we systematically scan walls, floors, ceilings, and other areas to identify temperature anomalies.

Anomaly Investigation

When we detect temperature differences, we investigate further using moisture meters and other tools to confirm the cause.

Documentation

We capture thermal images of problem areas along with standard photos, documenting the location and extent of any issues.

Report & Recommendations

You receive a detailed report with images, findings, and recommendations for addressing any problems we discover.

Why Choose Mansour's for Thermal Imaging?

See the Invisible

Thermal imaging reveals problems hidden behind walls that traditional inspections miss entirely.

Non-Destructive

No cutting into walls or floors to find problems. Infrared technology is completely non-invasive.

Precise Location

Pinpoint exactly where problems exist so repairs can be targeted and efficient.

Save Money

Catch problems early before they cause extensive damage and expensive repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation (heat) that all objects emit. The camera converts this into a visual image where different colors represent different temperatures. Wet areas, air leaks, missing insulation, and other problems create temperature differences that show up as distinct patterns on the thermal image.

Thermal imaging can detect water leaks behind walls, moisture intrusion through foundations, missing or inadequate insulation, air infiltration and drafts, plumbing leaks (especially hot water), overheating electrical components, and HVAC duct leaks. It's particularly valuable for finding problems before they become visible or cause major damage.

Thermal cameras don't literally see through walls. Instead, they detect temperature differences on the wall surface that indicate what's happening behind it. Moisture, air movement, and missing insulation behind the wall affect surface temperatures in distinct patterns that trained inspectors can interpret.

Thermal imaging inspections typically range from $200-$500 depending on home size and scope of inspection. This is a small investment compared to the cost of repairing water damage or energy loss that could have been caught early. We often include thermal imaging as part of our waterproofing assessments.

Thermal imaging works best when there's a temperature difference between inside and outside (at least 10 degrees). This is why morning inspections often work well. For moisture detection, images are most accurate when the area is dry enough to show temperature contrast. We schedule inspections for optimal conditions when possible.
