Bank Foreclosure Inspections Infrared inspections are perfect for bank foreclosure inspections. An infrared camera allows an inspector to take thermographic photos which will quickly reveal insulation problems, moisture damage, or serious electrical problems. Infrared inspections for bank foreclosures do not take as long as an actual home inspection and therefore are ideal for these types of inspections as well as giving inspectors an edge when doing a typical home inspection. 

As heating costs continue to rise and energy efficiency becomes a greater concern to the world, proper insulation and ventilation techniques are more important than ever. Homebuyers are becoming more concious of a home's potential energy costs before purchasing a home and existing homeowners are beginning to look for ways to reduce their existing heating or cooling bills. 

Proper insulation and ventilation techniques are some of the most efficient ways to lower heating and cooling costs. Knowing how to identify deficiencies and weaknesses in insulation gives you a marketable skill in the inspection industry and allows you to properly remediate insulation or ventilation problems.
