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
