Infrared Home Inspections are beneficial in identifing frozen and busted plumbing pipes. Many of these issues are being found on the numerous bank owned properties. A bank owned or vacant property can often be neglected and a Infrared Inspection can often save your client alot of money and frustration.
A frozen pipe doesn't always just bust and cause an immediate and noticeable problem. Often times a fitting or connection will become damaged and a slow leak will begin to occur just inside the wall. Without Infrared Technology these slow leaks are undetectable and go unnoticed until the sheet rock begins to stain or sag.
With Infrared scans we are able to immediately notice a damaged or leaking fitting and pin-point exactly where the leak is. When you are able to pinpoint the exact location of a leaking pipe covered by sheet rock you can easily minimize the situation and turn it into a cheap fix.
The pictures below show an example of a leaking pipe in the ceiling that would have gone unnoticed without using Infrared Technology.
The BLUE colored area is moisture on the backside of the sheet rock.
