Thermal imaging doesn't see through walls — but it sees temperature differences that reveal what's behind them. Active leaks, missing or sagging insulation, overloaded breakers, hidden moisture, even stuck-open dampers all show up as temperature anomalies.
FLIR thermal scanning is included on every Closer Look home inspection. We add a dedicated thermal pass on energy-focused inspections, post-flood evaluations, and any home where moisture is suspected.
What's included
- Hidden moisture detection
- Missing/sagging insulation
- Electrical panel hot-spots
- Radiant floor function
- Air leakage at door & window seals
- Included on every Closer Look inspection
Common questions about flir thermal imaging
Is flir thermal imaging worth the cost?
For most Mankato-area buyers, yes. The cost is small relative to what a missed issue could cost after closing.
How long does flir thermal imaging take?
Varies by scope — most service-specific add-ons take 20–60 minutes on top of the home inspection. We bundle them into one visit.
Do you bundle flir thermal imaging with a home inspection?
Yes — bundling saves $50–$100 vs. booking separately and means one report and one bill.
Where do you offer this service?
Mankato and a 50+ mile radius across Southern Minnesota — see our service area page for a full list of cities.
How fast do I get the report?
Same day for most inspections. Always within 24 hours.
