In Spokane’s extreme climate, hidden heat loss, moisture intrusion, and insulation defects are common—even in homes that look perfect on the surface. A thermal imaging inspection gives buyers and sellers a powerful layer of protection by revealing issues that standard visual inspections simply can’t see.
Using infrared cameras and moisture detection, thermal inspections identify:
• Missing or compressed attic and wall insulation
• Air leaks and thermal bridging
• Hidden roof and plumbing leaks
• Moisture behind walls and ceilings
• Conditions that commonly lead to mold growth
For buyers, this means fewer costly surprises after closing. For sellers, it provides documentation of energy performance and property condition, helping support price and reduce last-minute negotiations.
Thermal imaging is especially valuable in Spokane due to:
• Cold winters that magnify heat loss
• Ice dams and snowmelt moisture risks
• Large numbers of older, under-insulated homes
• Rising buyer awareness of indoor air quality and energy efficiency
When paired with moisture and radon testing, thermal imaging creates a powerful inspection package that builds buyer confidence and strengthens transaction integrity.
Bottom line: Thermal imaging protects your clients, reduces post-sale liability, and keeps deals from falling apart over hidden defects.
