Discover Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging Technology
What Is Thermal Imaging?
Thermal imaging uses advanced infrared technology to detect even the smallest temperature differences in a structure. Every material has a unique thermal signature, which changes when moisture, heat, cold, or wood-destroying insects are present. These changes, whether subtle or dramatic, are invisible to the naked eye but detectable with thermal imaging technology.
The benefits of Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging is an invaluable tool for evaluating both residential and commercial properties. As a non-invasive method, it quickly identifies potential issues, reducing the need for time-consuming and destructive investigations.
Understanding the limitations
Not a Moisture Meter
Thermal imaging identifies thermal anomalies but is not a moisture meter. It highlights areas that require further investigation with other diagnostic tools.
Not X-Ray Vision
Thermal imaging does not provide a view inside walls but identifies temperature differences that suggest potential issues.
Not a Silver Bullet
While not a complete solution, thermal imaging complements other inspection technologies, uncovering issues often missed during standard visual inspections.
Not a Risk Eliminator
Thermal imaging cannot completely eliminate the risk of concealed damage but significantly aids in early detection.
Why Choose Thermal Imaging?
Moisture Detection
Thermal imaging can reveal moisture issues in walls, ceilings, and floors that are not visible during a standard visual inspection. Early detection of moisture can prevent mold growth and structural damage, saving on costly repairs.
Stucco & EIFS Inspections
Thermal imaging enhances our ability to detect moisture intrusion and rot behind stucco, identifying problem areas that need repair.
Wood-Destroying Insects
Active infestations of wood-destroying insects generate heat, detectable through thermal imaging. This allows for early intervention before significant damage occurs.
Energy Audits
Identify areas of heat loss or cold air influx to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs. Thermal imaging helps pinpoint energy-wasting areas for targeted improvements.
Flat Roof Inspections
Thermal imaging accurately locates leaks in flat roofs, potentially saving you from costly replacements by enabling precise repairs.
Electrical Inspections
Detect hot spots in electrical systems that could lead to power outages or fires. Early detection allows for timely repairs, preventing larger issues.
Plumbing Inspections
Thermal imaging identifies temperature anomalies in plumbing systems, highlighting potential leaks before they cause major damage.
