Thermal imaging, also known as thermography, is the technique for producing an image of invisible (to our eyes) infrared light emitted by objects with the use of a thermal imaging camera.
Thermal imaging cameras provide rapid scanning of a surface that is non-destructive and environmentally friendly, which allows for quick detection of potential problems or defects that will reduce troubleshooting time and preventative maintenance.

At Stauss Inspections, we pride ourselves on using the latest technologies and methods to ensure that you have a healthy and happy home. When you request an inspection from us, we use thermal imaging to determine which areas of your home are either functioning correctly or incorrectly and report those findings directly to you.
Every inspection includes up to four infrared camera images. These play a big role in helping us confirm working systems or highlight a possible defect. This cutting-edge process can detect hidden moisture in your walls and ceilings, leaks in your plumbing, and even insect infestations.
It’s also a great way to pinpoint the exact location of leaks in your roof. And if there’s an electrical issue, thermal imaging will be able to see any abnormal heating patterns. It’s a safe and effective way to correct defective connections in your home, thus avoiding the possibility of a fire.
We also offer a full Thermographic scan of your home or commercial property. This inspection will include photos and descriptions delivered in a concise, written report. The systems covered include insulation, plumbing, electric, HVAC, roofing, and structure.
