Can I fix it?

Hot spots found on the thermal imager are often from areas of insufficient or missing insulation. Insufficient insulation can lead to energy inefficiencies in the home that can cause higher electricity bills as well as nuisances in heating and cooling your home. The typical remedy to a hot spot found with the thermal imager is either a redistribution of insulation in the attic, replacement of old insulation, or installation of new insulation in the area. A thermal scan is also useful in determining whether doors and windows have been properly sealed to insure the home owner is not losing efficiency in these areas. Noble Property Inspections understands how important energy efficiency in a home can be. Let Noble Property Inspections give you peace of mind knowing your home is properly insulated and operating efficiently.

Additionally thermal imaging can show areas of possible water leaks that often need remediation through water distribution and or drain piping replacement. Water leaks that go unresolved can lead to further issues such as ceiling sagging, ceiling and or roof deterioration, and mold. Catching a leak early and resolving the issue can save the home owner money in the long run. Let Noble Property Inspections check your walls and ceilings for any areas of possible water leaks.
