Thermal Imaging Inspection
Free with every inspection · standalone by quote
Every Bent Nails inspection includes a free thermal imaging scan. An infrared camera detects surface temperature differences, revealing problems the eye can’t see: water intrusion, insulation gaps, moisture damage, electrical issues and structural concerns. Standalone thermal inspections of homes, condos and commercial buildings are available by quote.
Ottawa’s freezing winters, hot summers and heavy rain and snow create risks such as water damage, mould growth, insulation gaps and hidden moisture, which can go undetected until they become serious problems.
Thermal imaging finds these inside walls, ceilings and foundations before they cause costly damage. That protects the property’s value, improves energy efficiency and keeps the home healthy and safe.

Questions about this inspection
Is thermal imaging included in a home inspection?
Yes. Every Bent Nails inspection includes a free thermal imaging scan.
Can a thermal camera see through walls?
No. It measures surface temperature. Hidden moisture, missing insulation or an overheating circuit changes the temperature of the surface in front of it, and that is what the camera shows.
