Thermal Imaging for a Complete Inspection
|
Thermal Imaging technology gives us the distinct advantage to see what other inspectors and the naked eye cannot.
Below, you will see an example of a simple electrical breaker inspection.

The Thermal Imaging Camera Detects the Following:
- Water Intrusion: Viewing interior surfaces of a building with the thermal camera can reveal excess moisture, including mold, due to plumbing leaks, roof leaks, leaks around windows, etc.
- Insulation: Large temperature differences, due to variations in heat transfer, allow for detection of inadequate or missing insulation when scanning ceiling and wall surfaces.
- Roofing leaks: scanning roof coverings can reveal water intrusion and accumulated moisture below the surface.
- Electrical systems: Problems within the electrical system can be made visually apparent by use of the thermal camera. An overheating breaker or undersized wire used for branch wiring will give off a large amount of heat allowing for easy detection.
- Structural issues: Under the right conditions, missing structural components, and portions of structural components which are damaged are also visible.
