Thermal Imaging & Infrared Scans

Infrared Thermography revealing hidden moisture and heat loss

Thermal Imaging Inspections by JIT Inspections use advanced infrared thermal cameras to detect hidden temperature anomalies across walls, ceilings, floors, and electrical panels. Serving Southwest Washington, this non-invasive survey locates concealed plumbing leaks, moisture intrusion behind drywall, missing insulation voids, and overheating electrical breakers.

What we inspect

Every inspection follows strict Washington State Standards of Practice (WAC 308-408C). Our visual evaluation covers all readily accessible elements:

  • Infrared scan of ceiling planes beneath bathrooms and roofs to locate moisture intrusion
  • Thermal evaluation of exterior wall assemblies to detect missing or slumped insulation
  • Electrical service panel infrared check for overloaded breakers or loose high-resistance lugs
  • Radiant floor heating loop verification for operational continuity and leaks
  • Electronic pinless moisture meter confirmation on any suspicious thermal signatures
Scope Boundaries

What requires a specialist

To provide honest, professional clarity, we clearly delineate where a home inspection ends and where dedicated trade contractors or municipal utilities are required:

  • X-ray vision through solid building elements (infrared measures surface temperature differences only)
  • In-wall plumbing repair or destructive drywall removal
  • Energy modeling / blower door depressurization testing (available via specialized energy auditors)

Why Infrared Thermography is Crucial in the Pacific Northwest

Persistent rain and wind-driven moisture in Western Washington can seep behind siding or through roof flashing without causing immediate ceiling stains. By measuring evaporative cooling differentials, thermal imaging allows us to detect trapped moisture inside building cavities weeks before visual water damage or toxic mold growth becomes obvious to the naked eye.

"Zach, owner of Just In Time Inspections, provided excellent, quick and accurate inspection of my home. I thought I might have a water leak. He used his high tech equipment to assess the area and provided both great verbal discussion during the inspection and a written report soon afterwards. Highly recommended!"

Answers to Common Inquiries

Frequently asked questions about Thermal Imaging & Infrared Scans

Direct, transparent answers to help you make informed decisions before scheduling.

Does thermal imaging see through walls?

No. Thermal cameras do not look through walls like an X-ray. Instead, they detect tiny surface temperature differences (infrared radiation emitted by building surfaces). Trapped moisture cools surfaces through evaporation, and missing insulation allows heat transfer, creating clear thermal signatures that we confirm using a moisture meter.

What kinds of problems does infrared thermography reveal?

Common discoveries include active plumbing leaks behind showers and sinks, roof leaks pooling in attic insulation, uninsulated wall bays, air leakage around windows, and loose electrical connections inside breaker panels that pose fire risks.

How is thermal imaging priced?

Thermal imaging is $175 as an add-on to a home inspection for homes up to 3,000 sq. ft., or $403 as a dedicated standalone diagnostic survey.

Do you confirm suspected leaks with a moisture meter?

Yes. Every thermal anomaly suggestive of moisture is verified with a calibrated non-invasive electronic moisture meter to confirm whether actual moisture is present or if the cold spot is simply an air draft or insulation void.
