Some of the most costly problems leave no visible trace — infrared imaging sees the hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and heat loss that the naked eye simply can't.
Thermal imaging uses infrared technology to reveal what the naked eye can't see — hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and heat loss behind walls, under floors, and around windows and doors. By reading the subtle temperature differences across a home's surfaces, an infrared camera surfaces problems that would otherwise stay concealed.
It's a powerful complement to Accu-Check's mold and moisture work: because damp areas and missing insulation show up as temperature anomalies, thermal imaging helps pinpoint the hidden water intrusion that so often drives mold, rot, and energy loss.
Jim Prudhomme provides thermal imaging throughout the Memphis metro and northern Mississippi. With more than 16,000 inspections over 35 years and licenses in both Tennessee (#302) and Mississippi (#1045), he uses infrared as one more way to give you an accurate, honest picture of the home — explained in plain language.
An Accu-Check thermal imaging scan surfaces the temperature anomalies that point to concealed issues throughout a home.
Damp areas behind walls and ceilings show up as temperature differences long before a stain ever appears.
Missing or shifted insulation reveals itself as cold or hot spots — the source of drafts and uneven comfort.
Air leaks and energy loss around windows, doors, and walls that quietly drive up heating and cooling costs.
Abnormally warm electrical components that can signal an overloaded or failing connection.
Some of the most expensive problems in a home — hidden moisture, missing insulation, energy loss — leave no trace you can see during a normal walkthrough. By the time water stains bleed through or a bill spikes, the underlying issue has usually been at work for a while.
Infrared imaging changes that. It surfaces the anomalies while they're still small, so a damp spot can be traced before it becomes rot or mold, an insulation gap can be sealed before another winter of high bills, and a warm electrical connection can be flagged before it becomes a hazard.
Paired with Jim's thorough, take-his-time approach, thermal imaging adds a layer of confidence to your inspection — a look beneath the surface of the home, not just at it.
Your scan is documented in a computer-generated report, embedded with imagery and free of technical jargon.
From your first phone call to final report delivery, here's exactly what to expect.

Jim scans the walls, ceilings, and key areas with an infrared camera, reading the temperature differences that reveal hidden issues.
You receive a computer-generated report with clear findings, thermal images, and recommendations you can actually use.
Jim provides a cost-free follow-up consultation, explaining what the imaging found and offering honest advice on your next steps.
Thermal imaging uses an infrared camera to read the surface temperatures across a home. Because hidden moisture, missing insulation, and air leaks all create temperature differences, the camera reveals problems behind walls and under floors that a standard visual inspection can't see.
It surfaces hidden moisture and possible water intrusion, insulation gaps, air leaks and heat loss around windows and doors, and abnormally warm electrical components. It's especially valuable for finding the concealed moisture that feeds mold and rot.
They work together. Thermal imaging scans a broad area quickly to flag suspicious temperature patterns, and those findings can then be investigated more closely. It's a way to know where to look, catching issues that a spot-check alone might miss.
It's a valuable add-on for most buyers, especially given how closely it ties to Accu-Check's mold and moisture specialty. It adds a look beneath the surface of the home — and can pay for itself many times over by catching a hidden problem early. Just ask when you schedule.
Yes. Thermal imaging pairs naturally with a general home inspection and with mold inspection, so you can cover multiple concerns in a single visit. Let us know what you'd like included when you schedule.
