Certified Infrared Thermographer
What is Thermal Imaging?
Thermal Imaging AKA Infrared, is a powerful, noninvasive method of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of houses. With it, I can quickly identify problem areas that can't be detected with the naked eye - eliminating costly, destructive probing methods. Infrared thermography cameras produce images of invisible infrared, or "heat" radiation and provide you with precise noncontact temperature measurements. Invaluable for moisture problems and mold problems! Moisture in building materials can destroy the structural integrity and nurture mold and insect infestation. Infrared cameras can instantly image entire rooms, inspect hard-to-reach places, reveal wet conditions behind surfaces at the source, and then monitor when the area is completely dry. Perfect for finding hot spots! For mechanical equipment, nearly everything gets hot before it fails - making infrared cameras extremely cost-effective and valuable diagnostic tools in many diverse applications. What can infrared cameras do for you? Infrared cameras meet the demands of building diagnostics. They feature immediate high-resolution thermal imagery, which reveals potential structural and moisture issues, energy efficiency and even rodents or pests. Use an infrared camera to find:
Thermal Imaging is an added service to your standard home inspection, so please request this valuable service when scheduling your home inspection.
Here are some of the "Hidden" Problems I found in homes that had little or no indications of moisture problems.
The dark images that show up with Infrared is moisture intrusion. Note: The yellow device in the upper right picture is a moisture meter. It is used to verify the presence of moisture. |
