• Moisture problem between the stucco façade and the interior structure.
• Decorative side panel (right, bottom) shows rot where rain water has been seeping in.
• Stucco and EIFS homes can hide potentially expensive water damage.
• Two photos of the same area of an EIFS home.• Conventional photo (left) reveals no problem.• Dark spot on infrared photo indicates a moisture
problem.
Moisture Confirmed with Moisture Meter
• A normal outlet will produce heat and light when something is plugged in and turned on.
• In this case, the hot spot is more than a foot above the outlet, indicating a problem.
• Something may be wrong in the fuse/breaker or the wiring.
• Only HomeSafe has the technology and training to spot the problem.
Outlet
Something Wrong
• The switch shows up very hot.• The trail of heat follows the wiring
up the wall.• HomeSafe’s infrared provides a
warning of a hidden fire hazard.
• Formosan termites are the most aggressive species in the U.S.
• Large nests in ceiling visible only under HomeSafe’s infrared technology.
• Nests are light rather than dark because the great amount of moisture and activity has allowed fermentation to occur.
Termite nests (Very Bad)
• Top left, what an average inspector sees.
• Top right, infrared provides visual proof for HomeSafe inspector.
• Acoustics provide audible proof.
• Note: When this home was renovated 7 months after the inspection, termite damage behind the walls was quite evident.
