Advanced Inspection Technology

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
