Thermal Imaging

Thermal imaging is a technology that records miniscule variations in the surface temperature of an object on the order of one-quarter of one degree. Images made by a thermal camera show these variations by contrasting the relatively lower temperatures in darker colors and the relatively higher temperatures in lighter colors.

An experienced inspector who is also trained in the use of a thermal camera can use thermal imaging to enhance the inspection process by detecting conditions that are otherwise unseen. Thermal imaging can help an inspector pinpoint sources of moisture intrusion in roofing and exterior cladding systems. Thermal imaging can also be useful in evaluating structural framing by identifying temperature anomalies that are the result of damages to the framing members.

Thermal imaging can assist an inspector in identifying defects in certain operating systems, such as air leaks in the ductwork of central air conditioning systems or overheating circuits or components of the electrical system

We have started Infrared Imaging & Inspections, A Division of Gurtler Bros. to further the awareness and availability of Infrared Imaging in the Gulf Coast Region. You can find us at www.IIIAnswers.com
