    • At any time the inspector feels that it is unsafe or unnecessary to utilize a drone.

Thermal Camera

  • Limitations of a thermal camera:

    • A thermal camera does not see through walls.  The camera detects temperature differential which will alert the inspector to a problem such as a leak.  If no temperature differential exists, the camera will not detect an issue.

    • The camera will not be used to scan every portion of the home and we are not doing an energy efficiency evaluation on the home.  The camera is only a tool that the inspector may or may not use in order to assist in the inspection or verify findings.  The camera is utilized at the discretion of the inspector.
