Infrared-Thermal Imaging

Thermography is a “heat diagram” or a visible picture using infrared wavelengths. This imaging technology is a powerful and non invasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of a building. Typically, water on building materials will evaporate and cool by about 6 degrees. A wet spot observed with an IR camera is visible as a distinct cool spot.

The benefits of thermography are used in many commercial, industrial and residential areas of:

Building Envelope Moisture and Airflow Analysis
EIFS and Stucco Evaluations
Roof Surveying
Energy Loss
Electrical Scans
Mechanical Evaluations
Heating and Air Conditioning
Hot Water Heating Systems
Plumbing Evaluations

IR inspections can provide immediate documentation of:

As-built and post restoration conditions
Post casualty cause and origin data
Building envelope water leakage
Past-flood and fire damage material assessment
Energy use inefficiency
Plumbing leaks and valve damage
Roof covering failure, water intrusion and energy loss
Electrical problems
HVAC
Mechanical
