Why do I need a Thermal Imaging Inspection?

3/3/2020

Small moisture particles aren’t noticeable to the naked eye and can go undetected, and then turn into mold. Restoration Companies like Spotless use thermal imaging inspection to identify wet and cold spots, and moisture in homes and businesses.

This technology uses infrared radiation (IR) thermography to detect latent moisture concerns.

Use of infrared technology

Infrared thermography uses the unique thermal camera that is capable of evaluating even very small variations in temperature. An infrared camera for thermal imaging inspection for moisture can help to identify a range of moisture and yeast problems, including air leaks, thermal bridges, or missing insulation.

Using thermal images to detect moisture is the perfect way for restoration companies to remove all small molecules of the moisture from homes and businesses. Prior to use in the water damage restoration industry, infrared tools have successfully been used to detect roof leaks by roofing companies as well as hot or smoldered spots from fire and smoke damage.
 
Thermal imaging measures surface warmth by using infrared recorders and cameras. Images on the film or video record the temperature deviations of the building. They also provide as a quality control element, for example, to make sure that insulation has been established correctly.

Moisture is a serious problem

Moisture can easily grow in a home due to several reasons and if it is unchecked it can become toxic mold. Mold infestation can be the reason for expensive damage and create a health risk for people and pets. When moisture is present, it is often hard to detect its complete removal. Water and moisture can be present within walls, upper floor, basements, washrooms, and crawl spaces.
For detecting the infancy of mold, restoration companies will use thermal imaging inspection for moisture detection.

Thermal imaging inspection

When you are doing a home inspection, the thermal imaging tool can be used to execute many purposes beyond detecting places of excess moisture. Thermal imaging inspection can also be used to detect hidden structural damage, electrical hot spots, and areas of risk. Infrared technology can be used to recognize insect colonies that may be unchecked in moisture detection until they cause more noticeable damage.

With the use of infrared technology in your home or business examination, a water damage restoration specialist can identify possible issues with better accuracy than depending on traditional inspection processes.

If you are concerned or want to learn more about moisture intensity in your home or business, or need immediate support, contact a restoration company in your area. Their skilled professionals should hold IICRC certifications and offer two types of infrared examinations: basic auditing of a specific area or complete structural check. Infrared technology will identify issues at the root by providing exact and precise information. Be safe, healthy, happy, and pristine clean!

It was informative when you talked about how a thermal imaging tool can be used to detect places that have excess moisture. I would think that it would be a good idea to have the foundation of a building checked with an infrared tool. You would want to prevent moisture from forming around a foundation and causing irreversible damage.
