Most home buyers buy a property and either ‘buy it on the price’, or they choose the place ‘emotionally’. Buying a property on the numbers is a normal decision… but not checking if the home has serious deficiencies behind walls is not very good idea at all. Our experience shows that many home owners after purchasing properties find problem after problem and … 99% of the time the expensive problems occur in places you can’t see with the naked eye!
It is not a secret that some trades people like to cut corners… and they ‘think’ we can’t see what they do behind the walls. But we do... If we find any leaks or excess moisture behind the wall and confirm it with the moisture meter - you, seller and realtor will know exactly what the problem is through the eyes of the camera…“live”.

What’s the difference between a building inspection and a thermal imaging inspection?
What is The Best Time to Do an Infrared Building Inspection on Your Home?
It depends on many factors like season, current whether condition and etc. Actually, early in the morning or late in the afternoon (especially in summer) is the best time to do Infrared imaging inspection on your home. In other words, the ideal condition is when the temperature difference is not less than 10 C (50F) degrees between inside and outside. However, practically, Aitur Group uses a highly sensitive camera that can work at all hours of the day.
For example: An infrared camera of average sensitivity makes it very difficult to work in the middle part of the day, and you simply just won’t see a void in the wall, leaks, stud or missing insulation. So if the camera is sub-standard, or operator is not properly trained and certified, it is impossible to know what he/she is NOT SEEING, when they are using a camera of average sensitivity. Aitur Group infrared cameras are highly accurate and re-calibrated at least once a year to ensure accuracy.
