Carbon Monoxide Gas Detection

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless gas that can cause sudden illness and death. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. Approximately 50,000 people in the U.S. visit the emergency department each year due to accidental CO poisoning. Most CO exposure occurs during the winter months. Of all reported non-fire CO incidents, 9 out of 10 happened in the home.

Potential sources of CO include but are not limited to any fuel-burning appliances that are malfunctioning or improperly installed, such as:

Furnaces
Stoves and Ovens
Water Heaters
Dryers
Room and Space Heaters
Clogged Chimneys or Flues

Using carbon monoxide and methane gas detection instruments, we will survey those areas of the home to ensure there are no potential CO or methane (i.e., natural gas) leaks at the time of inspection to ensure the house is safe for its current or future occupants.

Thermal Imaging: Benefits for Home Inspections

Thermal imaging enhances home inspections by detecting issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye. Here are the key benefits:

Moisture Detection: Thermal cameras reveal hidden water damage and leaks by identifying temperature differences in building materials, helping to prevent mold growth and structural damage.

Electrical Issues: By detecting abnormal heat patterns, thermal imaging can identify overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, and overheating electrical components, preventing potential fire hazards.

Energy Efficiency: Thermal imaging highlights areas of heat loss or poor insulation, helping homeowners improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs.

Pest Detection: Thermal cameras can spot signs of pest infestations, such as termites or rodents, by detecting temperature changes associated with their activity.

Time and Cost Efficiency: Thermal imaging speeds up inspections and reduces the need for invasive, costly exploratory methods, enabling faster more comprehensive assessments.

Thermal imaging revolutionizes home inspections by providing deeper insights into a property’s condition, allowing for informed decisions and timely repairs.
