When To Get A Quote
A. Buying any home (ideal for older or renovated homes)
Case Study: Renovated Home With Hidden Moisture Behind New Walls
When Erin toured a freshly renovated home in Jamaica Plain, everything looked flawless — new paint, new floors, new lighting. During the inspection, Clark Hill’s thermal camera detected a cold, damp area behind a newly finished wall in the living room. Further evaluation revealed a slow leak from an old roof flashing that the renovation had simply covered up. Because the issue was discovered early, Erin negotiated repairs before closing and avoided inheriting a major hidden problem.
B. Suspected leaks, mold, or cold spots
Case Study: The Mystery Cold Spot in the Dining Room
A homeowner in Belmont kept noticing one corner of her dining room felt colder than the rest of the house. Thermal imaging showed a distinct temperature drop behind the wall, identifying moisture caused by a small plumbing leak from the upstairs bathroom. Fixing it early prevented mold growth and saved her thousands in potential repairs.
C. High utility bills or inconsistent room temperatures
Case Study: The Family Paying Too Much for Heat
The Lopez family in Watertown saw winter heating bills skyrocket but couldn’t figure out why. A thermal imaging inspection revealed significant insulation gaps in the attic and around several windows. After targeted insulation upgrades, their heating costs dropped noticeably — and comfort improved in every room.
D. Verifying HVAC or insulation performance
Case Study: New HVAC System That Wasn’t Working Efficiently
After installing a new HVAC system, the Chang family wanted to confirm it was distributing heat properly. Thermal imaging showed uneven temperatures in the ductwork and identified one duct that had become partially disconnected in the attic. Once repaired, airflow improved, and the system operated at peak efficiency — validating their investment.
