Interesting IR Find

[John McKenna]

Found something interesting by the bathtub the other day.
This picture is when the oven was at 350 degrees. Things
really started getting warm when I put the oven on broil.
(this unit was an electric oven in a 70's home that had been
remodeled).

Hi John,

Did you recommend something to the buyer/seller with regard to the heat transfer?

Or are you just showing what a great instrument the cams are?...........

I don't find a 10 deg elevation in temperature to be remarkable.

The back of my oven is opposite the stair wall to by lower level and the stair side of the wall gets warm.

I told my client to have it checked out just to be safe.
I told him I was not sure if it was a big problem or not.
Like I said, it started getting pretty warm once we put
the oven on broil.

I agree, 10 deg. is small. Isn't the flash-point of wood like 570 deg.? Big difference. But you have to love the versatility of these cam's.

I have been using the B-cam real serious lately went yesterday to one of my wifes listing that was getting ready to be treated Monday for known termites. I took the camera out to do a little exploring on my own as I like to look at known problems helps me recognize something that may not be known.

I just wanted to see If there was a difference in temperatures of the wood were termites were known to be and where they were not located.

I scanned three window panes from the interior of the home two of them with known termites one without and I registered 2 degrees temp difference between the windows with and without. Not much difference in temps and don't think I would have recognized that as a problem if I had not had previous knowledge not that I go around looking for termites not my job I just thought it would be intersting. I have a good working relationship with this one termite company we look out for each other. I tell him the location in crawl spaces where I see his problems and he tells me where he sees some of my problems such as leaks 4 eyes are better than two.
