Infrared Thermal Imaging

Our IR thermal imaging cameras help us to identify concerns that other inspectors may not be able to see. That’s why we use infrared cameras on EVERY inspection at no additional cost to you.

An infrared inspection (IR) can identify and document energy loss, moisture intrusion, and even unexpected hot spots.

In terms of energy loss, an IR camera can detect:

heat loss and air infiltration in walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors;
damaged and/or malfunctioning radiant heating systems;
air-conditioner compressor leaks;
under-fastening and/or missing framing members, and other structural defects that can lead to energy loss; and
broken seals in double-paned windows.

In terms of detecting moisture intrusion, an IR camera can locate:

plumbing leaks;
hidden roof leaks before they cause serious damage;
missing, damaged and/or wet insulation; and
water and moisture intrusion around penetrations and at the foundation and building envelope that could lead to structural damage and mold.

IR cameras are equally effective at locating hot spots in the home, including:

circuit breakers in need of immediate replacement;
overloaded and undersized circuits;
overheated electrical equipment and components; and
electrical faults before they cause a fire.

Great inspector, 100% recomended

After having three different roof inspections by two construction companies and my insurance and getting a different story from each of them I decided I needed somebody who was independent unbiased and worked for me. I did some digging and found a certification agency that certifies inspectors for roof inspections and found several in my area. A Light in the Attic was the first one that I called and John Rhodes was a great guy to talk too so I explained my situation and what I was looking for. Being able to hire him for a specific inspection and he not being a part of a construction company or insurance company was fantastic. He showed up on time he was incredibly thorough and very receptive to answering my questions and very descriptive in what he was doing why he was doing it and what it meant. Within 24 hours he provided me a written report that was incredibly well documented and descriptive. I feel very reassured after the work he has done for me because now I know what my expert says it's wrong and needs to be done and he isn't trying to deny my claim or sell me a roof. I would highly recommend him for any kind of inspection service because he was even able to point out several other things that he noted in passing. For my roof though I feel better equipped and better prepared to handle something that felt overwhelming before.

I contacted John several weeks ago to get a quote for my home inspection. Once we reached further along in our home buying process I contacted John again to set up an inspection date. John was very flexible. He even offered to do the inspection on his day off. My husband and I found John to be very professional and reliable. He is very skilled and knowledgable at what he does. It’s a 10 out of 10 for me. I will definitely use him again. I suggest you do to should you need inspection services. Thank you John for being A-1.

John Rhodes at A Light in the Attic did a wonderful job inspecting our new home! He is extremely thorough and his attention to detail is extraordinary. After the inspection, he explained the things he found and what we would have to do to move forward. He was very patient with us while we asked him many questions and he explained everything to us in a way that was understandable to the layman. Additionally, the inspection report that followed had photographs showing exactly what he found and what would need to be done to correct the issues. He has repeatedly told us that we can contact him for any other questions that may arise in the future. His price was very reasonable and his service was invaluable to us. We will refer him to anyone who needs a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of their home.

I've used John at A Light in the Attic twice, both times extremely pleased with the thoroughness of his reports. He has inspected two properties for me, one of which was an older home (built in the '70s) and the other a new build. Both times he found actionable items and presented them in a way that did not escalate emotions.John has always been prompt in both correspondence and arrival, and has utmost respect for the properties he inspects. I highly recommend and will gladly do business with again.

I had a great experience with John. He was on time and quite thorough with his inspection. The owners chose to be in the house while he was inspecting and he was very thoughtful in his approach while going through the house. Upon completion he took time to review every detail (he was quite detailed). Coming from out of state I was not as familiar with local laws and codes, but John was very knowledgeable and helped explain. His official report came back in a very timely manner. I would highly recommend John’s services to anyone looking for a quality inspector.

John Rhodes did the inspection on our house and did an amazing job. Our house was older (1978) and he went through very thorough and meticulously to detail every issue that was there. His attention to detail was outstanding, his report was very easy to follow and well documented in a way that is understandable and explainable even to people who don't have the technical background to understand. In some cases, I had concerns about items and he thoroughly detailed the issue or explained it in a way so that I could understand how urgent/critical or non-critical it actually was. As a side note, with his reports, there are pictures/videos and explanations of the issues. Where the issue is complicated and something only a tradesman would know, there is a write up with pictures that show how the item should actually look. This was invaluable on the older house we were looking at, as codes have changed and what looked like non-issue was presented in a way that was completely understandable. I don't post reviews and definitely never thought I would write one about home inspectors, however, John's professionalism and attention to detail is what would make me recommend him over anywhere else. I really appreciate the work he did for me and my family.

John provided a very thorough report and a detailed explanation for a lay person was also included. Images, videos and thermal images are included in the report. Interactive and easy-to-read. The walk-through was intuitive yet detailed. Super responsive and quick to schedule and provide the inspection service. The pricing was very competitive and included everything I needed for a fair and simple flat price. No complex tier pricing to get to the same result and charge more. Thanks John.
