Thermal & Termatrac Termite Inspections in North Jersey

How thermal imaging helps

A thermal camera shows small temperature differences across a wall. Termite colonies and the damp mud they bring in can show up as cooler or warmer patches than the surrounding wall. The camera also shows moisture: leaks, condensation and wet insulation, which draw termites and carpenter ants in the first place.

A thermal pattern is a clue, not proof. A cool patch might be a cold pipe or missing insulation. The inspector uses it to decide where to look closer with a moisture meter, a probe or a small inspection hole.

How Termatrac radar helps

Termatrac devices use a low-power radar signal to detect movement inside walls, wood and other materials. Termites moving in their galleries register as activity, so the inspector can confirm whether a suspicious area is active right now, without opening the wall. The device also includes moisture and heat sensors to back up what the reading shows.

This matters when you're deciding whether old damage is from a past infestation that's already been treated or from termites that are still there.

What happens after the inspection

If there's active termite activity, we explain where, how much, and the treatment options. Termite treatment carries a 90-day warranty. If there's only old damage, we'll say so and point out the conditions that could invite termites back: wood touching soil, mulch piled against the foundation, leaking gutters and downspouts, and damp crawl spaces. If wood needs fixing, see termite damage repair.
