& Home Inspection

Do you have unusually high heating costs?
Does your roof leak, but you’re not sure why?
Worried about mould not visible to the naked eye?
Want to protect your home investment?

Mose Home Inspection Services offers the latest in home inspection technology – infrared thermography. Infrared thermography allows our inspectors to spot many hidden defects in a house or building without having to disassemble walls and without interfering with any part of the existing structure.

HOW IT WORKS

Our professional home inspectors will visit your property during the evening and make a complete survey of exterior and interior of the house with an infrared (IR) camera. This special camera is heat-sensitive, meaning that it can detect extremely subtle external temperature variations. It also allows inspectors to identify and provide visual proof of any irregularities in the “thermal envelope” of a home or building.

An IR camera can quickly detect areas of poor, missing, deteriorated, or damaged insulation in walls, crawlspaces and attics or around doors, windows and electrical outlets, as well as poorly insulated pipes and other sources of heat loss. Stand-alone infrared home inspection helps to identify, localize, and report on energy efficiency or loss, water or mould damage, electrical or HVAC system problems.

WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU

With rising heating costs, more and more homeowners are concerned with home energy efficiency and an IR inspection can act as an energy audit of your home. As well, whether you own a home or are thinking of buying one, an IR inspection can help pinpoint hidden defects such as:

Structural problems
Poor, missing or deteriorated insulation
Air infiltration
Moisture intrusion and accumulation
Potential mould in walls and ceilings
Faulty wiring
Overloaded electrical circuits
Loose electrical connections
HVAC blockages
Furnace heat exchanger & flue damage spots
Inadequate or improperly applied flashing or sealants

Infrared (IR) inspection is a fast and non-invasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of buildings. The combination of Infrared inspections and traditional Home Inspection services produce a better insights and more reliable information about a home or building. Put your mind at ease.
