Infrared Inspection

Infrared Thermal Imaging is an excellent method of detecting thermal anamolies which can lead to latent moisture problems. It is fast, non-invasive and effective.   While it does not specifically detect or identify mold or wood rot, it can quickly identify potential problems that will develop because of moisture problems.

Infrared Inspection makes an infrared thermal map of the building or structure interior, variations in the thermal images from “normal” can be strong indicators of potential problems.   Materials with a higher % of moisture than normal will radiate “cooler” or "hotter" images. In most cases other methods of analysis and inspection are used to follow up on suspected problem areas.

Infrared inspection is effective for inspection of Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) and is referred to as “synthetic stucco".  EIFS inspection identifies areas of high moisture content in the form board,  sheathing and framing as well as areas where the substrate has already been damaged.

Infrared Thermal Imaging can also detect “electrical hot spots” and be a valuable preventative maintenance tool for industrial power systems as well as for mechanical elements and systems, such as industrial machinery and motors.
