Been reading some amazing stuff about infrared imaging...
Looks like HomeSafe practically has a monopoly/lock on the market for the technology (?) Was told today about someone suffering from mold probs....had mold samples taken...occupant was told by medical doctor: "Get outa there!" Took sheetrock off wall...found small plumbing leak...no stains or outward signs whatsoever.. Sooo.....since it appears that an infrared imager would likely have detected the otherwise invisible plumbing leak.... Not to mention that HomeSafe's very pricey device can also detect otherwise invisible termites (with infrared coupled with acoustic detection)..... What's your opinion? Is infrared going to be in all bag of tools? |

Could be......but at that point the SOP will need a revision.....it is beyond the scope right now as is many devices we use today.
