Default Re: Apparent Missing Insulation

A follow up email from the client purchasing the home with missing insulation. here is part of his message:

"John did a very professional job and his infrared thermal imaging tool was able to detect a major flaw in the home which would have definitely gone undetected without this service. The imager was able to detect that a portion of the cathedral ceiling in the bedroom (inaccessible from the attic) was not insulated. For a relatively newer home built in the 90s, it was definitely not something I expected to find. There is no way a home inspector without this tool would have been able to find this flaw. The owners of the home have agreed to fix the problem prior to closing at a cost that will undoubtedly be more than the price of the inspection, so it has already paid for itself. "

The imager is really beginning to open new business opportunities. I can only imagine how many defects were possibly missed during typical inspections without infrared.
