How to get a thermal image of your home

If you are interested in getting a thermal image of your home, there are a few things you need to know. First, not all inspectors offer thermal imaging services. You will need to ask the inspector if they offer this service and what the cost is. A basic thermal inspection is provided at no additional cost with your Semper Fi home inspection.

As with any home inspection, we will need access to all areas of your home. This means that they will need to be able to go into the attic, crawlspace and basement. If you have any pets, you will need to make sure they are taken care of during the inspection.

The inspector will also need to be able to take photos of the exterior and interior of the home. In order to do this, they will need access to all of the rooms in the home.

The final thing you need to know is that thermal imaging is not a substitute for a standard home inspection. It is simply an additional tool that can be used to help identify potential problems with the property.
