If you are experiencing
water problems in your home or building, the main concern is to
find out where it's coming from, and stop it.
We understand this,
and we have the tool to help. Thermal Imaging. There is nothing
like thermal imaging to find the cause of your problem. This amazing
tool can detect changes in temperature by less than .05 of a degree.
We can see why a certain wall may be a little bit colder than the
one next to it. We can help find your water problem and normally,
without any damage to the drywall or structure.
What
is Thermography?
Thermography is the
use of an infrared imaging and measurement camera to "see"
and "measure" thermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal,
or infrared energy, is light that is not visible because its wavelength
is too long to be detected by the human eye; it's the part of the
electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Unlike visible
light, in the infrared world, everything with a temperature above
absolute zero emits heat. Even very cold objects, like ice cubes,
emit infrared. The higher the object's temperature, the greater
the IR radiation emitted. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes
cannot. Infrared thermography cameras produce images of invisible
infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise non-contact
temperature measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets hot
before it fails, making infrared cameras extremely cost-effective,
valuable diagnostic tools in many diverse applications. And as industry
strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies, manage energy, improve
product quality, and enhance worker safety, new applications for
infrared cameras continually emerge.
Thermographic
Inspections
Energy
auditors may use thermography—or infrared scanning—to detect thermal
defects, air and water leakage into building envelopes.
How They Work
Thermography
measures surface temperatures by using infrared video and still
cameras. These tools see light that is in the heat spectrum. Images
on the video or film record the temperature variations of the building's
skin, ranging from white for warm regions to black for cooler areas.
The resulting images help the auditor determine whether insulation
is needed. They also serve as a quality control tool, to ensure
that insulation has been installed correctly.
A thermographic
inspection is either an interior or exterior survey. The energy
auditor decides which method would give the best results under certain
weather conditions. Interior scans are more common, because warm
air escaping from a building does not always move through the walls
in a straight line. Heat loss detected in one area of the outside
wall might originate at some other location on the inside of the
wall. Also, it is harder to detect temperature differences on the
outside surface of the building during windy weather. Because of
this difficulty, interior surveys are generally more accurate because
they benefit from reduced air movement.
What we do with
our Thermal Imaging Services
- Through
visual inspection of the interior and exterior of the building
- Start scanning
the problem areas trying to see the possible entry or "issue"
point
- Start a
plan to solve your problem and set up a through list of things
to be done and a written estimate for all work
- We do some
of the repairs ourselves, other repairs we can recommend some
professionals, but we do not use"network parteners"
What
other uses does Thermal Imaging have?
- Finding Electrical
Problems
- Missing Insulation
in Walls
- Roof Leaks, Water
and Air
- Automobile Leaks
- Energy Efficiency

If
we were inside this basement and the floor was covered with
carpet, we could most likely isolate the point of entry and
figure out what problem is causing the water to enter the
home. Then we can set a course of action to stop it.

Mold
Remediation |
- Discuss with
you the health Issues and risks associated with mold
- We locate the
source of the problem
- Determine what
materials have been effected
- Mold lives
off of wood, paper, drywall, and insulation, they provide
food sources for molds when given a little moisture
- Safely &
properly remove any affected materials and properly &
legally dispose of them
