What is Thermal Imaging?

Thermal Imaging is the process of acquisition and analysis of thermal information from non contact Thermal Imaging devices (camera).

• Thermal Imaging is a non destructive, non invasive method for detecting deficiencies or abnormal conditions within a building.
• Thermal Imaging cameras capture temperature differentials which can reveal water penetration, heat transfer, condensation and the source of possible mold issues. 

• Thermal Imaging can also detect structural, insulation, ventilation, heat loss, rodents and electrical deficiencies within buildings. The equipment can measure insulation levels and detect air leakage when temperature differentials are present.
• An important part of detecting mold is finding the moisture path and source.  Many times these concerns are not detectable without Thermal Imaging equipment.
• Thermal Imaging can provide a complete internal view of ceiling, walls, and floors. Moisture meters only provide limited specific location readings.
• Thermal Imaging cameras are ideal for viewing areas that are not readily accessible   (ie, high ceilings, external walls, roof areas that cannot be reached).
• Thermal Imaging is ideal for in-floor or in-celing radiant heating systems as it allows full vision to locate  heating elements and possible defects quickly.
• A professional grade, high resolution Infrared Camera is used for all Thermal Imaging surveys.  We can identify building issues not detectable by the naked eye without destruction.

This photo shows water intrusion.The blue section is water. This was not visible without the aid of a thermal camera

This view shows in-floor radiant heating. This can be viewed through concrete, tiles,wood/laminate flooring or carpets

This view shows framing members.These are the studs on an exterior finished wall.(Studs concealed behind drywall). This is usefull to see if windows or doors have correct headers installed or if there are any missing studs.

The blue sections is missing insulation behind a finished wall.
