Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging can help identify areas of energy loss and moisture intrusion in the building envelope.
-missing, settled, improperly installed insulation in walls
-air infiltration (air leakage) through the building envelope

How does it work?
A thermal imaging camera senses differences in temperature. Moisture intrusion is often characterised by a local difference in temperature, as water has a high thermal mass, and often changes its temperature at a slower rate than surrounding construction materials.
Many if not MOST moisture intrusions are invisible to the naked eye. A small, slow leak may go unnoticed for quite some time. By using a thermal imaging camera in combination with a moisture meter, one can often find these otherwise "invisible" deficiencies.

A thermal imaging scan includes a scan of vulnerable areas, such as a second floor ceiling, basements, areas below bathrooms and the electrical panel. A report containing thermal imaging photos are included.
