Frequently Asked Questions

What does FLIR thermal imaging detect?

FLIR thermal imaging detects temperature differences that reveal hidden issues invisible to the naked eye. In Mankato homes, this includes moisture intrusion behind walls, missing or inadequate insulation, air leaks around windows and doors, overheating electrical components, and radiant heating system issues.

Is thermal imaging included in a standard home inspection?

Closer Look Home Inspectors includes basic thermal scanning as part of our standard Mankato home inspections at no extra charge. For a comprehensive, full-property thermal survey with detailed thermal imagery documentation, we offer an enhanced thermal imaging add-on service.

How does thermal imaging help Mankato homebuyers?

In Southern Minnesota's extreme climate, proper insulation and moisture management are critical. Thermal imaging reveals insulation voids that cause high heating bills, hidden moisture that leads to mold, and electrical hotspots that pose fire risks. These issues are especially common in older Mankato homes.

What FLIR equipment do you use?

We use professional-grade FLIR thermal imaging cameras with high resolution sensors capable of detecting temperature differences as small as 0.1 degrees. This equipment allows us to identify issues in Mankato homes that would be completely invisible during a visual-only inspection.
