Thermal Inspections
What you can’t see can hurt your property. Our thermal inspection technology reveals hidden moisture, insulation gaps, and potential problem areas invisible to the naked eye — all without any invasive testing.

Top Choice Restoration is a trusted company in the community when it comes to professional thermal inspection services. We are a certified IICRC water damage restoration contractor providing reliable thermal inspections to homeowners and businesses throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Our experienced technicians use advanced thermal imaging technology to detect hidden moisture, water intrusion, and potential damage behind walls, ceilings, and flooring.
Infrared thermal cameras detect temperature differences on surfaces caused by evaporative cooling from hidden moisture. This allows us to ‘see’ water behind walls, above ceilings, and under floors that would otherwise go undetected until significant damage has occurred.
Beyond Water Damage
While we specialize in moisture detection, thermal imaging can also reveal missing insulation, HVAC duct leaks, electrical hotspots, and even pest infestations. Our comprehensive thermal scans give you a complete picture of your property’s condition.
Detailed Reporting
Every thermal inspection includes a detailed report with annotated thermal images, identified problem areas, severity assessments, and recommended actions. This documentation is valuable for insurance claims, real estate transactions, and maintenance planning.

F. A. Q
Frequently Asked Questions
Our emergency restoration team typically arrives within 60 minutes. Fast response helps minimize damage and allows us to begin water extraction and drying immediately.
First, shut off the water source if possible and avoid walking through standing water near electrical outlets. Then contact a professional restoration company immediately so water extraction and drying can begin.
Many water damage situations are covered by homeowners insurance. Our team works directly with insurance providers and can assist with the claims process.
The timeline depends on the severity of damage. Water extraction may take a few hours, while structural drying typically requires 3–5 days depending on materials and moisture levels.
