What Infrared can do for you:
Some instances where Infrared Thermography is beneficial:
- Detect problems quickly, without interrupting service
- Assess priorities for corrective action
- Minimize preventive maintenance and troubleshooting time
- Electrical Systems
- Thermal heat loss inspections for buildings,
- Moisture contamination
- Concrete integrity inspections
- Concrete water heated floor inspections for leaks and
temperature distribution
- Locate missing or damaged insulation
- Identify air leakage energy losses
- Evaluate the thermal performance of retrofits
- Locate radiant heating wires or pipes
- Detect delaminations in concrete bridge deck
- Locate and identify mold growth areas in building structures
- Flat roof leak detection for buildings, plants, facilities
- Identify water damaged portions of a roof quickly and accurately
- Eliminate unnecessary replacement of roofing
- Document problems before the warranty expires.
- Boilers
- Inspect burners for flame impingement and burner management
- Look at combustion patterns of fuel
- Heat ventilation air conditioning equipment evaluation
- Cold Storage cooling losses.
- Detect insulation leaks in refrigeration equipment

More detailed Info:
| Water intrusion: scanning interior surfaces of a building with an infrared camera can reveal excess moisture due to plumbing leaks, roof leaks, leaks around windows, etc. Wet areas of building materials cool when energy is transferred during the water evaporation process; therefore, a wet (“cooler”) area will stand out from the surrounding dry (“warmer”) surface. |
| Insulation deficiencies: appreciable temperature differences, due to variations in thermal energy (heat) transfer, allow for detection of deficient or missing insulation when scanning ceiling and wall surfaces. |
| Roofing leaks: scanning roof coverings can reveal water intrusion and accumulated moisture below the surface. Due to its thermal properties (high thermal capacity), water typically gives up heat at a much slower rate than the surrounding roof materials. The areas of accumulated moisture can therefore be detected when scanning the roof surface. This type of roof inspection is best done in the evening or early nighttime after thermal energy imparted during the daytime is transferred or released. |
