When you walk through a property, you notice the obvious—fresh paint, new fixtures, or an open floor plan. But what about the things you can’t see? Hidden issues often lurk behind walls, ceilings, and floors, waiting to surprise homeowners and investors with costly repairs.
That’s where thermal camera imaging changes the game.
At Patterson Property Inspections, we use state-of-the-art infrared technology to go beyond the surface. Thermal imaging allows us to detect subtle temperature differences that reveal problems invisible to the naked eye—helping you make informed decisions with clarity and confidence.
Why Thermal Imaging Matters
Whether you’re buying, selling, or managing an investment property, thermal imaging adds an extra layer of protection. Here are three of the most common hidden issues it uncovers:
1. Moisture Intrusion
Water leaks don’t always leave visible stains right away. Trapped moisture behind drywall or flooring creates cooler spots that thermal cameras can detect. Catching these early means addressing small repairs before they escalate into mold, structural damage, or major expenses.
2. Insulation Gaps
Poor insulation doesn’t just make a home less comfortable—it drives up utility costs. Infrared scans reveal where heat is escaping or cold air is seeping in, so you can target improvements that save money and energy long-term.
3. Electrical Hotspots
Overloaded or failing circuits can overheat without warning. Thermal imaging identifies these hotspots quickly, reducing fire risk and helping electricians make precise, safe repairs.
The Benefit to You
