Infrared Imaging Inspections

Thermal imaging can reveal temperature differences that are not visible to the eye and can help direct the inspector toward areas needing additional investigation.

What We Evaluate

Infrared imaging inspections throughout the Kansas City metro. Metro One uses thermal imaging as an inspection tool to identify temperature patterns that may warrant closer evaluation.

Moisture Indicators

Temperature anomalies may help identify areas where moisture could be present and additional evaluation is warranted.

Electrical Anomalies

Unusual heat patterns at accessible electrical components may indicate conditions needing further evaluation.

Insulation Patterns

Thermal differences can sometimes reveal missing, displaced, or inconsistent insulation.

HVAC Patterns

Thermal imaging can assist with observing temperature differences associated with accessible heating and cooling distribution.

Building Envelope

Temperature patterns may help reveal air leakage or other envelope-related differences under suitable conditions.

Targeted Investigation

Thermal findings are interpreted with visual observations and other inspection information rather than treated as standalone proof.

Infrared Imaging Inspection Includes

  • Thermal scanning of appropriate accessible areas
  • Review of notable temperature anomalies
  • Targeted follow-up of suspicious patterns
  • Supporting images when relevant
  • Correlation with visible inspection findings
  • Documentation of significant observations

Why Infrared Imaging Helps

Infrared cameras measure surface-temperature patterns rather than seeing through walls. Used correctly, those patterns can help an inspector locate areas that deserve closer attention.

The value comes from combining thermal information with visual inspection, moisture measurements when appropriate, and professional interpretation.

Important: Thermal imaging does not see through materials and cannot by itself confirm moisture, mold, electrical failure, or insulation defects. Results depend on environmental conditions and temperature differences at the time of inspection.
