New Jersey Home Inspector Helps Eliminate

Needless Destructive Evaluation
and Saves the Deal

Benefits of Thermography in the Real Estate Industry...

 --- How Infrared Thermal Imaging Saved a Seller Thousands of Dollars, needless destructive man hours and frustration.

With the summer weather in the northeastern United States which has been wetter than usual, and the recent hurricanes and tropical storms from the Gulf of Mexico, moisture has become a very hot topic.

Peter W. Bennett, Owner of A Full House Inspection  Co. LLC, based out of Little Silver, and services all of New Jersey, received a  call from the buyer’s real estate agent, who knew and trusted Mr. Bennett’s abilities with regards to infrared thermal imaging.

The Scenairo:   The home, located in Lavallette, New Jersey, showed stains on the interior wall of the kitchen.  The seller and agent thought it might be coming from a suspect leaking fiberglass deck and flashing.

Using infrared thermal imaging technology, certified thermographer Peter W. Bennett, conducted a survey of the interior and exterior of the home to pinpoint moisture entry points.  The camera instantly detected cold patterns associated with moisture entry above the stains on walls and ceiling of the second floor, indicating that the leak was coming in from above not at the deck area.  With further evaluation, moisture was detected under the soffit area under the flat roof, and at the flat roof.

Without infrared thermal imaging technology, the traditional destructive method of removing the deck, flashing, interior walls and ceiling could have cost thousands of dollars and ultimately ending the real estate deal.
