Thermal Imaging Inspections
Infrared (thermal imaging) is an advanced, non-invasive technology that allows us to show homeowners things about their homes that can't be revealed using conventional inspection methods. An infrared scan can identify and document moisture intrusion, energy loss, and unexpected hot spots — included on every Ridgeview inspection at no extra cost.
Why It Matters
- Included on every inspection, no upcharge
- Non-invasive — no need to open walls or cut into finishes
- Reveals issues invisible to the naked eye
- Documents findings with thermal images in your report
- Performed by trained, experienced inspectors
What an Infrared Camera Can Detect
Thermal imaging captures temperature differences invisible to the eye, giving us a way to spot problems hiding behind walls, ceilings, and floors before they become costly repairs.
Energy Loss
Efficiency & Comfort- Heat loss and air infiltration in walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors
- Damaged or malfunctioning radiant heating systems
- Under-fastening, missing framing members, and other structural defects that lead to energy loss
- Broken seals in double-paned windows
Moisture Intrusion
Damage Prevention- Plumbing leaks behind walls and under floors
- Hidden roof leaks before they cause serious damage
- Missing, damaged, or wet insulation
- Water intrusion around penetrations, at the foundation, and in the building envelope that could lead to structural damage or mold
Other Hidden Issues
Safety & Pest Detection- Possible pest infestation, revealed by energy loss through shelter tubes left by wood-destroying insects
- The presence of rodents or other pests hiding within the structure, detected by their heat signature
- Dangerous fuel leaks that can lead to carbon monoxide exposure

Joanna, thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review! This means the world to us at Ridgeview and we’re glad we were able to exceed expectations. We wish you the very best moving forward with your new home!Posted on Google Dvir MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We got the contact of this company through our realtor. I’ll be honest it’s only second time that we do a house inspection (within the last 3 months) but the difference from the previous company is a night and day. Chris answered right away and scheduled Martin for exactly when we needed it. A quote was sent within minutes. Martin was awesome, very knowledgeable and friendly. He had all the patience for all of our questions. Wasn’t in a rush to get out of the inspection. In the end we got the report and what we loved about it that all the deficiencies are marked with colours red,yellow, green tells us about the urgency. Thank you guys, keep the quality!!!
Owner's reply
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this — it truly means a lot to our whole team. We’re glad we could be there when you needed us, and I’m happy we were able to get Martin scheduled quickly and keep everything smooth from start to finish. Martin will really appreciate your kind words. He takes pride in being thorough, patient, and never rushing an inspection, so it’s great to hear that came through. We’re also glad the colour‑coded reporting helped make everything clear and easy to prioritize — that’s exactly why we use that system. We appreciate your trust, especially after having a different experience with another company. We’ll keep delivering the same level of quality every time.
