Glad to hear it!

Yes, it's a very expensive stud finder too!

@@suresighthomeinspectioninc6540 I’m guessing the £250 ones won’t see it then 😂

I was thinking wall built and then stood. When built the bottom plate was crowned upwards, and they nailed the studs. Upon tightening the foundation anchors it pulled bottom plate flat. Could be wrong. But seems odd to nail it like that..

the cheap crews are all clowns like this

What makes you think that?

@@calebtaylor3835 top guy on the crew is not doing that job or completing it like that.

they are tyhe pricks who usually do the dumb stuff@@calebtaylor3835

More like day laborers from Lowe's parking lot.

It's possible that it may detect them. The issue with the cheaper cameras is the sensitivity and resolution. Newer cameras have better resolution than previous models but the sensitivity is even more important and often lacking on these lower priced models. If there is a good enough temperature differential a cheaper camera can find just about anything. We use a high end professional camera and one of the main reasons is that we are often not working under "ideal" conditions.

Hi, I'm not an expert so don't take my words for it but from my understanding those cameras only show the heat of things directly in front of them, They cannot see through walls so you won't be able to find moles

@@elpoupa yeah. I was hopeful. But I believe you are right. Thanks for the information.

Any attempt to use a thermal camera outside should be done very carefully. Sunlight on the lens could permanently damage the thermal sensor inside. If you go outside after sunset, you might be able to see differences in temperature where the tunnels are, but you will be unlikely to see where the moles are located as there would be a delay in the time the moles body heat takes to reach the surface through the dirt. Grass will likely block the heat image, also. I don't think a thermal camera would give you usable results.

I was thinking the same thing. Then I realized yeah it’s warm weather where he is. There’s snow on the ground where I am.

Attics, crawl spaces, and problems in the walls will show up differently, depending upon the time of year and temperature outside.

I have an IR camera and did my own inspection of my house. Shocked to find an interior wall blazing hot in the summer. This is the area the basement wood stove chimney goes to the roof.

You bet!

Yep! And here I'm upset if I don't get a house under 2.0ACH! 😆

It depends on the conditions. I like to set up the interior by having all lights, appliances, and other heat generating things off. A/C or heat not running for at least 15 minutes to throw things off. Then auto can work well and is my preferred setting as there is not a 70f wall and 120f light to throw off the span in auto. When I am using manual, I usually set a 15f span for my interior scans. This works well if there are unavoidable heat sources such as lighting or if the HVAC is running.

This was recorded with our FLIR thermal camera, no extra steps. They have a range of cameras from the consumer grade that cost a few hundred dollars to cameras in the 10's of thousands. The lower priced units don't do much more than take a grainy image. The higher grade cameras can do much more!

Probably a Flir camera.

I wish! No telling what you would find. Unfortunately it won't see into the ground. It is only reading the surface temperature. If there is something very warm or cold in a certain area that could show up at the surface temperature.
