Infrared Services

Imagine if you had Superman's power to "see" through walls. Accutech's new infrared imaging technology is the next best thing: Infrared detects tiny but crucial differences in temperature throughout a house, including behind the walls, beneath the floors and beyond ceilings.

These temperature variations often reveal "invisible" problems concealed from the naked eye, including hidden moisture intrusion, roof and plumbing leaks, faulty wiring, energy loss, missing insulation, ventilation problems, structural concerns and moisture related to termite infestations.

Most of these problems will go undetected in an ordinary visual inspection. But with an Accutech infrared home inspection, our inspectors can easily and quickly scan the house and pinpoint these concerns, providing you with additional vital information that competitors simply can't offer.

This is fast becoming one of the quickest growing infrared technology applications. More and more home owners are realizing the importance afforded them from an infrared home inspection. From seeing what you are getting in a new home purchase, to finding current home problems in making corrective action determinations and cost decisions, to knowing how and where you need to make improvements in cutting down your fuel bills making your home as efficient as possible. Realizing infrared can do this for you and show you actual images of exactly where you need to spend money and resources makes an infrared home inspection very appealing to knowledgeable home owners. And more and more home owners are becoming knowledgeable about infrared's benefits.
