Hidden moisture
Wet drywall, wet insulation, and active leaks show as colder areas on thermal. Slow leaks become visible months before staining appears.
Insulation gaps
Cold patches in winter reveal missing or compressed insulation. Common over wall plates, corners, and around recessed lights.
Electrical hot spots
Overloaded breakers and loose connections run hot. Found at panels and key junctions.
Air leaks
Drafts around windows, doors, and electrical penetrations show as cold streaks. Critical for energy efficiency.
Radiant heat
In-floor radiant loops, leaking ductwork, and HVAC zone failures all show on infrared.
