Certified Residential Thermographers

See What the Eye Can’t

Infrared thermography helps reveal hidden conditions without unnecessary invasive inspection. Using advanced thermal imaging equipment, Inspect Montana can identify thermal anomalies that may indicate moisture intrusion, missing insulation, electrical hazards, efficiency issues, or pest intrusion. Thermal imaging is one of the most valuable non-destructive tools available in modern building diagnostics when used by a properly trained inspector who understands both building science and the limitations of infrared technology.

Thermography can be scheduled as a stand-alone service or as an add-on to a property inspection.
What Infrared Thermography Can Help Identify
Not every issue creates a detectable thermal signature at the time of inspection, but thermography can often help direct further evaluation before major damage occurs.
Schedule an Inspection
Moisture intrusion or leaks
Missing or insufficient insulation
Air leakage and thermal bypasses
Overloaded circuits & loose electrical connections
Radiant floor heating irregularities
Energy loss concerns
Residential Thermography
Thermal imaging can be incorporated into residential inspections or scheduled as a standalone service.

This service is particularly useful for:
  • Older homes
  • Homes with comfort complaints
  • Energy efficiency concerns
  • Suspected hidden moisture
  • Intermittent leaks
  • Electrical safety concerns
  • Remodeling verification
  • New construction quality assurance
Our inspectors combine infrared imaging with traditional inspection methods, moisture meters, electrical testing equipment, and building science principles to help verify findings rather than relying solely on thermal patterns.
Commercial Building Thermography
Commercial thermography can assist property owners, investors, facility managers, and tenants with identifying concealed issues that may affect operations, maintenance planning, or risk management.

Applications may include:
  • Electrical distribution equipment scanning
  • Building envelope evaluations
  • Roof moisture investigations
  • HVAC performance assessments
  • Energy loss evaluations
  • Moisture intrusion investigations
  • Preventative maintenance programs
Thermography is commonly used as part of larger Property Condition Assessments (PCAs), facility evaluations, and maintenance planning programs.
Our Approach
Thermal patterns alone do not diagnose defects. Findings must be interpreted within the context of the structure, weather conditions, system operation, and supporting evidence.
Our goal is to provide clients with practical, understandable information that helps them make informed decisions regarding safety, maintenance, repairs, and investment risk.
At Inspect Montana, thermography is not treated as a gimmick or simply a “cool camera picture.” Proper infrared inspection requires an understanding of:
  • Electrical distribution equipment scanning
  • Building envelope evaluations
  • Roof moisture investigations
  • HVAC performance assessments
  • Energy loss evaluations
  • Moisture intrusion investigations
  • Preventative maintenance programs
Important Limitations
Infrared thermography is a non-invasive screening tool that detects only the surface temperature of materials and is not X-ray vision. Certain conditions may not be visible at the time of inspection depending on:
Weather conditions
Temperature differentials
Surface materials
Access limitations
System operation
Moisture evaporation
Occupancy conditions
Further invasive evaluation or specialized testing may be recommended when warranted.
