FLIR Thermal Imaging
Infrared scanning detects hidden moisture, electrical hot spots, and insulation gaps invisible to the naked eye.
FLIR thermal imaging uses professional-grade infrared cameras to detect temperature variations that reveal hidden moisture intrusion, electrical hot spots, missing or compressed insulation, and air-leakage points.
Why this matters
A standard visual inspection cannot see through walls. Thermal imaging finds problems weeks or months before they become visible — a slow plumbing leak behind drywall, an electrical connection running hot inside a panel, a section of wall with no insulation. Catching these during inspection saves thousands in surprise repairs.
What's covered
- ✓Hidden moisture intrusion (plumbing leaks, roof leaks, foundation moisture)
- ✓Electrical hot spots in panel and visible junction boxes
- ✓Missing or compressed insulation in walls and ceilings
- ✓Air leakage at windows, doors, and rim joists
- ✓Radiant in-floor heating leaks or failed loops
- ✓Refrigerant line freezing or A/C performance issues
Southern Minnesota considerations
Southern-MN homes with their long heating seasons benefit enormously from thermal imaging — air leakage and missing insulation become major utility-bill issues. Older homes with original mechanicals also commonly have hidden electrical issues that thermal imaging catches before failure.

Common questions
Is FLIR thermal imaging always worth it?
On any home over 15 years old, yes. The cost typically pays for itself in finding one issue that would have been a major surprise repair.
Can thermal imaging see through walls?
Not literally — but it sees temperature differences caused by what is behind the wall. A wet wall is colder than a dry one. A hot electrical connection shows through drywall as a warm spot.
Do you do thermal imaging in summer?
Yes. The most useful conditions are when there is significant temperature differential inside vs. outside — but useful imaging is possible year-round.
