*The Importance of Infrared Scanning in Home Inspections: Uncovering Hidden Issues in Newfoundland Homes*

Published on November 19, 2025 at 5:05 PM

As a homeowner in Newfoundland, you're likely no stranger to the unique challenges that come with owning a home in this beautiful province. From harsh winters to rugged terrain, our homes face a lot of wear and tear. That's why it's crucial to ensure your investment is protected with regular home inspections.

 

At Rocky Shores Home Inspection, we offer comprehensive inspections to give you peace of mind. One tool we use to detect potential issues is infrared scanning. This non-invasive technology allows us to detect temperature differences in your home, which can indicate problems like moisture intrusion, electrical issues, and insulation gaps.

 

*Detecting Moisture Intrusion with Infrared Scanning*

 

Moisture intrusion is a common issue in Newfoundland homes, particularly in areas with high humidity or near coastal regions. Infrared scanning can detect temperature differences that indicate water leaks or dampness, which can lead to:

 

- Mold growth and structural damage

- Wood rot and foundation problems

- Unpleasant odors and health concerns

 

Our infrared scanning technology can identify areas where moisture is present, allowing us to recommend repairs and prevent costly damage.

 

*Identifying Electrical Issues with Infrared Scanning*

 

Electrical issues are a major concern for homeowners, as they can cause fires and electrical shocks. Infrared scanning can detect overheating circuits or faulty wiring, which can:

 

- Cause electrical fires and damage to appliances

- Increase your energy bills

- Put your family's safety at risk

 

Our certified inspectors will use infrared scanning to identify potential electrical issues, giving you peace of mind and helping you avoid costly repairs.

 

*Finding Insulation Gaps with Infrared Scanning*

 

Insulation gaps can lead to increased energy bills and make your home uncomfortable. Infrared scanning can detect areas where heat is escaping, allowing us to:

 

- Identify missing or damaged insulation

- Recommend energy-efficient upgrades

- Help you save money on heating and cooling costs

 

*The Best Part? Infrared Scanning is Included*

 

At Rocky Shores Home Inspection, we offer infrared scanning at no extra cost. Our InterNACHI-certified inspectors will provide you with a detailed report, so you can make informed decisions about your home.
