Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging is the practice of using infrared technology and a specialized camera in detecting areas of thermal conductivity, thermal absorption or evaporation, in order to diagnose water or moisture intrusion into structures.
Thermal imaging is also used for building diagnostics, Some of these uses include but are not limited to:
 Diagnostics for heating/cooling systems or in floor heat |
|
Detecting missing insulation |
|
Detecting overheated electrical systems or circuits |
|
Detecting pests |
|
Inspecting roofs for leaks* |
|
Inspecting building envelopes* |
*Please note that thermal imaging of exterior envelopes and roofs is not possible without proper preparation which includes but is not limited to: An infrared camera in conjunction with other moisture meters can help isolate and identify areas of concern for home owners as well as home buyers. This can help minimize or can also in some cases eliminate the need for demolition or destructive investigation.
Moisture and condensation problems are one of the most serious concerns in homes and structures. Especially in modern home construction, where buildings are almost airtight.
Unseen or undiagnosed water damage can lead to rot, structural failure, deterioration of building finishes, and possible mold growth, which can lead to expensive remediation and repair.
A thermal imaging/moisture inspection of your home can help minimize these risks.
