Infrared inspections and surveys are increasingly requested for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. These inspections utilize the same technology found in military, aerospace, and medical applications. Infrared thermal inspections have helped home owners, home buyers, real estate investors, commercial properties, commercial management firms, residential properties, industrial preventive maintenance, building management firms, maintenance teams, general contractors, renovators, home inspectors, real estate specialists, home builders, and home improvement specialists. Thermal Infrared Inspections are vitally important for Arizona due to our climate and seasonal conditions. At some point in time, we all become affected by high energy costs or heavy rains. Infrared Inspection Technology can assist with these environmental and building concerns and greatly reduce damage and repair costs associated with them. Please browse the rest of our website to see how our amazing Infrared Thermal Inspection Technology can assist you!

 

Some of the more common infrared thermal inspection applications include:

· Water and moisture intrusion inspection scans
· Electrical system inspection and component scans
· Thermal insulation inspection scans
· Structural component inspection scans
· Flat roof inspection scans
· Pitched roof inspection scans
· Building envelope inspection scans
· Material defect scans
· Air infiltration / Heat loss scans
· HVAC component scans
· Radiant heating system inspection scans and locating
· Energy Audits / Surveys
· And much more...

 

Infrared technology is especially helpful in locating potential problems like electrical hazards and minor roof leaks before they get out of control. Our service can also assist with quality assurance by identifying missing insulation, plumbing leaks, and structural issues or defects. We can help to pinpoint troublesome issues such as roof leaks, plumbing leaks, and energy efficiency without the need for invasive or destructive investigations. Infrared technology can prove invaluable in saving time and revenue typically required to identify and correct these issues. We have the ability to assist you with our state of the art, high resolution infrared camera technology and training. We can ‘see’ what no one else can.

 

What is Thermal Image Scanning?

Thermal imaging uses infrared technology to detect very small differences in temperature. Every material has a unique thermal signature and when moisture, heat, cold, or wood destroying insects are introduced into the structure the thermal signature changes. The changes can be subtle or dramatic but with this incredible thermal image scanning technology the thermal signatures are detectable where they wouldn't be able to be seen with the naked eye.

Thermal image scanning technology is now being used to evaluate residential and commercial structures. As a non-invasive testing tool it can quickly help discern where there are suspected issues. This can help to limit the areas where time consuming further evaluation and destructive discovery is needed.

 

What Thermal Image Scanning is NOT?

MOISTURE METER - The infrared thermal imaging camera is NOT a moisture meter. It simply identifies thermal anomalies. This device greatly aids in identifying areas that need further investigation.

X-RAY VISION - The infrared thermal imaging camera is NOT an X-ray vision scope. It does not provide the user with an immediate Superman S on their chest with the ability to clearly see inside walls. Instead, it identifies thermal differences.

SILVER BULLET - The infrared thermal imaging camera is NOT a silver bullet solution, but when it is used in conjunction with other technologies thermal imaging has helped us to identify issues that are rarely identified during the limited visual home inspection process.

RISK ELIMINATOR - The infrared thermal imaging camera does NOT completely remove the risks of concealed damage.

PLEASE NOTE: It is deceptive to claim that thermal imaging detects moisture because the best that it can do is detect thermal differences. Using the infrared camera to help discover moisture issues is helpful because once the anomalies are identified then moisture meters and other diagnostic tools can be used to identify the source of the anomaly.
