First Inspection

It depends on how much cold air is infiltrating that transition. Minor inefficiencies aren’t worth upgrading but there are homes that definitely require upgrades if they want to obtain a more comfortable room and at the same time…save energy dollars.

Here’s an example of a newly constructed home with rim board cavity insulation issues that needs to be corrected…


Yes, it would be much easier to correct this inefficiency during construction, but that is not the case in most of my IR inspections. My clients are hiring me (as homeowners) after they move in, due to cold spots that they feel in their rooms.

Inefficiencies must be corrected somehow, and I’m simply supplying my client with options. What good is an IR inspection if the Thermographer is not teaching the homeowners how these areas can be corrected?

I agree completely David. I am doing the same here. With most of our construction modification is hard. Was hoping you had some trick I had not thought of to pass on.
