Infrared Services

Thermal energy travels at the speed of light in all directions. An infrared camera detects this (heat) energy and converts it into pictures or thermographs of heat. Utilizing infrared thermographic technology is a precise, noninvasive, nondestructive testing method.

Roof Moisture Survey

 

 An infrared roof survey can be of tremendous benefit at all stages of a roof’s life. Knowing if and where subsurface moisture exists is essential to proper roof maintenance and insuring the longevity of the roof. The roof structure is one of the most complex and costly parts of a building. While leaks themselves can be the owner’s biggest headache, any water introduced into the roof structure quickly results in other problems that are often more destructive and costly. An infrared roof survey can precisely locate areas of moisture in roofing insulation.

Electrical Survey

Infrared thermography can be used to perform inspections on electrical equipment because excess resistance on electrical apparatus indicates electrical faults such as loose connections, overloaded or imbalanced circuits, faulty breakers, damaged switches, faulty fuses and a wide range of other unwanted electrical conditions. Before an electrical component burns up, it heats up. Thermography is used to see the excess heat (resistance) so that problems can be found and maintenance personnel can act to correct the problem before the component fails, causing damage to the component, safety hazards and/or production downtime.

Energy Survey

Infrared Energy Loss Survey is the only proven, nondestructive and complete method for troubleshooting building energy loss and moisture problems. Building owners use envelope testing to save millions of dollars every year by reducing energy costs, minimizing structural damage, and enhancing occupant comfort and health. An infrared survey is the best way to find energy loss area.
