Thermal Imaging- Seeing what the
naked eye can’t:
For those cases where the moisture
damage may not be readily visible,
we use thermography as
a tool to aid
in locating thermal anomalies which
could indicate water intrusion or
leakage. We can
often pinpoint the
source of the leakage using state of
the art electronic equipment which
saves
time and money on repair
costs.
Thermal imaging cameras do not
actually detect moisture and/or
mold, they use sensors to pick up
infrared waves and formulate images
based upon those waves. The
resulting images, properly
interpreted can be used to assess
areas of potential moisture by
evaluating differences in
temperature. Temperature difference
caused by evaporation, radiation,
thermal bridging,
infiltration/ex-filtration and other
sources must all be carefully
evaluated. In doing so, the
inspector can use the information to
spot suspect areas that are not
visible to the naked eye.
The
findings are then verified using
electronic moisture detection
equipment.
