Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging cameras are hand-held devices designed to sense subtle changes in the temperature of surfaces, which may indicate environmental changes behind these surfaces. The images are displayed in scales of color ranging from violet to white, indicating increasing temperatures. In a very true sense, the inspector can visualize what is occurring behind the surface to determine environmental changes, including mold or microbial growth or air and water infiltration. It is similar to taking an ‘X-Ray Image’ instead of doing exploratory surgery!
Benefits of Thermal Imaging
Detect Hidden Moisture
Areas in the property have restricted airflow and increased moisture in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and air ducts, creating mold and mildew. Thermal imaging can help identify areas of hidden moisture, identifying what need we need to repair.
Electrical Hot Spots
Thermal imaging can find hot spots in your home's electrical system. Electrical wiring erodes and causes heat at the connection points, which our thermal imaging system can identify. By locating these early, you prevent the possibility of a house fire and can hire an electrician to repair the corroded wires.
Non Destructive Detection
Thermal imaging technology can help detect various problems within a home that may be hidden. It allows inspectors to find missing insulation, hidden moisture, and other issues. Thermal Imaging can do all this without breaking down walls and destroying the property.
