Despite how much time people have been spending at their homes in the past year, chances are still good that they haven’t been spending much time in their attic. As it happens, the attic is a part of many homes where common issues are frequently found. Some of these issues are not noticeable with the human eye, especially when homeowners rarely take time to look upstairs. However, a thermal imaging camera can help to identify these issues easily.
As just one example, while you may be able to tell that a family of rodents has formed a nest inside your attic, you may not be able to tell the extent of the damage they’ve caused. Rodents like to chew through things like wires and insulation, and when this happens, a significant amount of heat may be generated, or cold or hot air may be lost. A thermal imaging camera in the hands of a home inspector can be used to quickly spot this kind of issue.
