Finding Hidden Problems

What is Thermal Imaging?

Thermal imaging is using infrared technology to view and photograph the temperatures radiating or reflecting from materials and surfaces. Properly evaluated this gives the technician information to identify moisture issues, deficient insulation, air leakage and other issues relating to the performance, efficiency and safety of a structure. Using the photographs can dynamically display the deficiency.

 

What Thermal Imaging is not?

Thermal imaging does not radiate waves of any type. It is not a hazard to people or pets. It does not allow the operator to see through walls or other materials.
