• THERMAL IMAGING INSPECTION •
Thermal Imaging is a technology that far exceeds a typical "visual inspection" and allows us to show you things about the Structure that no one can show you using other inspection methods. Thermal Imaging, or Infrared Thermography, reveals things at a much higher dimension, producing images of invisible heat energy emitted from objects and systems in the Structure and allows us to measure it. Thermal Imaging helps to diagnose the problem, rather than merely identify symptoms and can sometimes, but not always, identify and document:
• Electrical faults before they cause a fire •
• Overloaded and undersized circuits •
• Circuit breakers in need of immediate replacement •
• Missing, damaged and/or wet insulation •
• Heat loss and air infiltration in Walls, Ceilings, Floors, Windows and Doors •
• Moisture intrusion that could lead to environmental issues (mold, mildew, algae, fungus) •
• Possible pest infestation •
• Hidden Roof leaks, before they cause serious damage •
• Air conditioner compressor leaks •
• Under fastening and/or missing framing members •
• Structural defects •
• Broken seals in Double-Pane Insulated Windows •
• Energy loss and efficiency •
• Dangerous flue leaks •
• Damaged and/or malfunctioning radiant heating systems •
• Unknown plumbing leaks •
• Overheated equipment •
Thermal Imaging Cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and produce images of that radiation. Although Infrared Thermography is a far better diagnostic tool than the naked eye, it does not guarantee 100% accuracy, unless removal or destruction of components can be achieved to validate findings. Other tools are used to verify Thermal Images, but even with these considerations we do not claim to have "X-RAY" vision. Conditions may change and cause the apparent temperature readings revealed in the Thermal Images to be different at any given time.
