At first glance, a home may seem tidy: smooth walls, beautiful finishes, new windows, a neat facade. However, in reality, many problems are hidden not where you can see them, but where nothing can be noticed with the naked eye.

This is why a thermal imaging survey is one of the most useful services both when buying a home and when already living in it.
Using a thermal imager, we can see differences in surface temperatures and identify places where heat is lost, moisture accumulates, cold bridges form or other construction defects appear. Usually, a person notices a problem only when the room is cold, corners start to mold, it blows through the windows or heating bills become disproportionately high. Thermal imaging allows you to see the problem much earlier.

This service is especially relevant for people who:
• are buying an apartment or house and want to understand its true condition;
• are already living in the home, but feel cold, damp or uncomfortable;
• want to check whether the builders or contractors have done their work with quality;
• wants to understand why heating costs are high, even though the home appears to be airtight.

What problems can thermal imaging help identify?

Thermal imaging usually helps detect:
• leaky windows and doors;
• poor-quality window installation;
• thermal bridges in the corners of walls, ceilings, near balconies or lintels;
• poorly insulated walls, roof or floor;
• places where moisture accumulates and mold can begin to form;
• unevenly functioning underfloor heating;
• hidden defects under the finish.

To an ordinary person, all this usually looks like this: it is warm in one room, while it is always cooler in the other; it is unpleasant to sit by the window; black dots keep appearing in the corner; the walls are “almost dry”, but for some reason you can smell damp; the corner in the child’s room is constantly cold. In such situations, thermal imaging helps not to guess, but to understand the exact reason.

What does the process look like?
Upon arrival at the facility, the situation is first assessed: what problems are felt, in which places they are most pronounced, whether the housing is new or older, whether renovation has been carried out, whether the windows have been changed, whether there is underfloor heating. Then the thermal imaging scan itself is performed. Walls, corners, window areas, door assemblies, ceilings, floors, roof structures, and if necessary, specific problem points are checked.
