Thermal Imaging Inspections in Michigan
At Elevate Inspection Group, we use advanced thermal imaging technology to uncover hidden problems in your home that standard inspections might miss. Thermal imaging helps identify areas of heat loss, water intrusion, electrical issues, and more — giving homeowners, buyers, and sellers peace of mind.
Why Choose Thermal Imaging?
Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared energy (heat) and translate it into an easy-to-read visual map. This allows our certified inspectors to see temperature differences and locate issues without invasive probing. Common problems identified include:
- Water Leaks & Moisture Intrusion: Detect hidden leaks behind walls, ceilings, and floors before they cause mold or structural damage.
- Electrical Hotspots: Identify overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, or overheating components that could pose fire risks.
- Insulation & Energy Loss: Find areas where insulation is missing or improperly installed, helping lower energy bills.
- HVAC Performance Issues: Detect uneven heating or cooling and airflow problems in your home.
With thermal imaging, we can provide detailed reports with visual evidence, helping you make informed decisions about repairs or maintenance.

FAQs: Thermal Imaging Inspections
What is thermal imaging in home inspections?
Thermal imaging uses infrared technology to detect heat patterns in your home, revealing hidden issues such as leaks, insulation gaps, and electrical hotspots.
Is thermal imaging safe for my home?
Yes! Thermal imaging is non-invasive, safe, and requires no drilling or destructive testing.
Can thermal imaging detect mold?
While thermal imaging can identify moisture-prone areas where mold is likely to grow, it does not detect mold directly. Moisture detected can indicate a high risk for mold growth.
How long does a thermal imaging inspection take?
Most inspections take 2–3 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your home.
Do I need to prepare my home for a thermal scan?
Generally, no special preparation is required, but we recommend turning off HVAC systems for at least 30 minutes prior to the inspection for accurate temperature readings.
