Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers — including where thermal imaging has real limits.
No. Thermal imaging only detects surface temperature — it cannot see through walls, trees, dense brush, earth, or most solid objects.
No. Thermal imaging can improve search visibility, but no technology can guarantee that a missing animal will be located.
Nighttime and cool, dry, low-wind conditions generally provide the clearest thermal results, especially for outdoor animal searches. Sun-heated pavement, roofs, and rocks can reduce contrast during the day.
Only with permission from the property owner or someone authorized to grant access.
It may reveal a surface-temperature pattern that warrants further testing. It does not prove the presence of moisture on its own, and this is never a substitute for a proper moisture inspection.
No. This is targeted, non-invasive thermal screening for a specific reported concern — not a licensed home inspection, code inspection, or energy audit.
It may identify suspicious surface heat or activity patterns, but it cannot see through the wall itself.
No. Services are limited to animals, equipment, and authorized property concerns.
When conditions and equipment allow, yes — thermal and visible-light photographs and short video clips can be provided along with a plain-language summary.
