Exhaust flue and fresh air intake

Deteriorated HVAC duct insulation

The Thermal Imaging Camera Detects the Following:

• Water Intrusion: Viewing interior surfaces of a building with the thermal camera can reveal excess moisture, including mold, due to plumbing leaks, roof leaks, leaks around windows, etc.
• Insulation: Large temperature differences due to variations in heat transfer, allow for detection of inadequate or missing insulation when scanning ceiling and wall surfaces.
• Roofing leaks: scanning roof coverings can reveal water intrusion and accumulated moisture below the surface. 
• Electrical systems: Problems within the electrical system can be made visually apparent by use of the thermal camera.  An overheating breaker or undersized wire used for branch wiring will give off a large amount of heat allowing for easy detection.    
• Structural issues:  Under the right conditions, missing structural components, and portions of structural components which are damaged are also visible.

Thermal Imaging for a Complete Inspection

Thermal Imaging technology gives a distinct advantage to see what the naked eye cannot. Below is a sample of overheating of a circuit breaker.
