Find Out What's Behind The Walls In Your Home
Thermographic Inspection
When there are problems lurking behind the walls of a house, you may never know they’re there. Gross Inspection Services, LLC offers thermographic inspection as part of your home inspection to determine the status of things you can’t ordinarily see.
When you have a leak behind a wall, you might not know about it until the damage is already done.
What Can Thermal Imaging Find During a Home Inspection?
Some building problems aren’t readily visible because they’re located behind walls, above ceilings, or within other concealed areas. Thermal imaging gives an inspector another tool for identifying temperature differences that may indicate an area requiring closer investigation.
Gross Inspection Services uses infrared technology during thermographic inspections to help identify potential roof leaks, low or missing insulation, wall-cavity concerns, pipe leaks, air leakage, and disconnected or underperforming HVAC ductwork.
A thermal camera doesn’t literally see through walls. Instead, it detects differences in surface temperatures. An unusual temperature pattern may indicate moisture, missing insulation, air movement, or another condition that should be investigated further.
This makes thermal imaging particularly useful as a non-invasive diagnostic tool. Instead of opening walls simply to look for a suspected problem, an inspector can use thermal patterns alongside other inspection methods to identify areas of concern and determine where additional evaluation may be appropriate.
We’ll identify a problem area so you can fix the issue. Give us a call or text us today to get started! Schedule your thermographic inspection in the Brookfield, WI area.
Gain Insight On What's Behind Your Walls
Thermal Spectrum
Our infrared camera sees the different wavelengths that materials produced on the thermal spectrum. It’s a great way to locate the source of any problems that would otherwise be invisible. Contact Gross Inspection Services today to inspect your home for hidden hazards using advanced non-invasive techniques.
Why Can Moisture Problems Be Difficult to Find?
Water intrusion can develop in areas that are not immediately visible to a homeowner. Roof leaks, plumbing leaks, and moisture entering around exterior components may begin affecting building materials before obvious staining or damage appears inside the living space.
Southern Wisconsin’s snow, ice, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles can make moisture management an ongoing concern for local properties. When water enters a building, determining the source is important because the visible symptom may not be located directly beneath the original entry point.
Gross Inspection Services uses thermal imaging as a non-invasive tool to help identify temperature anomalies that may indicate areas requiring further investigation. The technology can supplement a visual inspection when evaluating suspected leaks and other hidden conditions. Finding a potential problem area earlier gives homeowners an opportunity to investigate the source and determine the appropriate repair before continued moisture exposure contributes to more extensive damage.

Why Is Thermal Imaging Useful in Wisconsin Homes?
Wisconsin’s temperature extremes can make hidden problems with insulation, air leakage, and moisture particularly noticeable. A home that feels comfortable during mild weather may develop cold rooms, drafts, or other issues once temperatures drop significantly.
Thermal imaging provides additional information by identifying temperature differences that may not be visible during a standard visual evaluation. Gross Inspection Services uses thermographic inspection to help identify areas associated with roof leaks, low insulation, wall cavities, and pipe leaks.
This technology can be particularly useful in Brookfield and Milwaukee homes where owners are trying to understand why certain rooms feel colder, why moisture appears in a particular area, or where insulation may be insufficient. Thermal imaging does not allow an inspector to physically see through walls, but temperature patterns can help identify areas that deserve closer investigation. Combining visual observations with thermal information provides homeowners with additional insight into conditions that could otherwise remain unnoticed.
Gross Inspection Services provides thermographic (infrared) inspection as part of home inspections in Brookfield, WI, using an infrared camera to detect problems hidden behind walls, such as leaks, moisture issues, and other conditions not visible to the eye. The non-invasive technique reads the thermal spectrum to pinpoint problem areas before they cause further damage.
Q&A
Q: What is thermographic inspection?
A: Thermographic inspection uses an infrared camera to detect temperature differences that reveal problems hidden behind a home’s walls, such as leaks or moisture issues.
Q: What can thermal imaging help identify?
A: It can help identify leaks, moisture problems, and other conditions not visible to the naked eye.
Q: Is thermal imaging invasive?
A: No. Thermal imaging is a non-invasive technique that reads the thermal spectrum to pinpoint problem areas without disturbing the walls.
Q: Who performs thermal imaging inspections at Gross Inspection Services?
A: Inspections are performed by InterNACHI-certified inspector David Gross.
Q: Is thermal imaging included with a standard home inspection?
A: Thermographic inspection is offered as part of a home inspection with Gross Inspection Services, and is often paired with sewer scoping for a fuller picture of a property’s condition.
Q: How do I schedule a thermal imaging inspection?
A: Call 262-395-3373 to schedule a thermographic inspection in the Brookfield, WI area.
