Frequently Asked Questions
What is thermal imaging and how does it work?
Thermal imaging uses an infrared camera to detect heat signatures across surfaces. Every building material emits and absorbs heat differently. Moisture, air leaks, missing insulation, and mold all create distinct temperature anomalies that show up clearly in thermal images — even when there is no visible sign of a problem. This allows ThermaScan to find hidden defects before they cause expensive damage.
What problems can thermal imaging detect?
Thermal imaging can detect: hidden moisture intrusion behind walls, ceilings, and floors; mold growth and conditions that promote mold; insulation failures and cold spots; air leaks and heat loss; roof leaks; HVAC duct leaks; electrical hot spots; water damage from plumbing leaks; and improper construction behind finished surfaces.
How much does a thermal imaging inspection cost in Oakville or Toronto?
ThermaScan offers three inspection tiers: a Basic Thermal Scan (basement focus) for $249, a Full Property Assessment for $499, and a Pre-Purchase Buyer Walk-through for $699. A VIP Home Protection Plan is also available at $39/month, which includes 2 annual scans and priority access to services.
Why is a thermal imaging inspection by a construction expert different from a standard home inspecti
Standard home inspectors identify what they can see. ThermaScan's Ali Shakeri holds a B.Eng. in Building Engineering and has 28+ years of construction and renovation experience. This means he doesn't just detect the anomaly — he understands why it is happening and what the correct fix is. He has built and renovated hundreds of homes, so he knows exactly how and where buildings fail. This construction-level insight is not available from a standard home inspector.
When is the best time of year to do a thermal imaging inspection?
In Ontario, the best time for thermal imaging is when there is a minimum 10°C temperature difference between inside and outside — typically October through April (heating season). This temperature differential makes heat loss, moisture, and insulation deficiencies most visible. ThermaScan's VIP Protection Plan includes a Spring and Fall scan to catch seasonal changes at the ideal time.
Does ThermaScan serve areas outside of Oakville?
Yes. ThermaScan serves Oakville, Toronto, Mississauga, Burlington, Milton, Hamilton, Etobicoke, and the broader GTA. Service is also available in Montreal. Contact us at 905-367-6812 or info@thermascan.ca to confirm availability for your location.
