infrared investigations — technology that isn't all wet
Moisture in building materials can destroy structural integrity and nurture mold growth. Our first priority is always to quickly and accurately locate and remove all sources of moisture. To do this we use infrared camera technology to instantly let us know what's wet and what's dry. |

Infrared Thermography —
Seeing is Believing.
Thermography is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement
camera to see and measure thermal energy emitted from an
object. The higher the object's temperature, the greater the
IR radiation emitted. Infrared thermography cameras produce
images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and provide
precise temperature measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets
hot before it fails, making infrared cameras as extremely cost-
effective, valuable diagnostic tools.

How do thermal imaging infrared cameras work?
An infrared camera is a non-contact device that detects infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic signal which is then processed to produce a thermal image on a video monitor and performs temperature calculations. Heat sensed by an infrared camera can be very precisely quantified, or measured, allowing you to not only monitor thermal performance, but also identify and evaluate the relative severity of heat-related problems. Recent innovations, particularly detector technology, the incorporation of built- in visual imaging, automatic functionality, and infrared software development, deliver more cost-effective thermal analysis solutions than ever before. 
Why infrared?
A picture says a thousand words; infrared thermography is the only diagnostic technology that lets you instantly visualize and verify thermal performance. FLIR's infrared cameras show you thermal problems, quantify them with precise non-contact temperature measurement, and document them automatically in seconds with professional easy-to-create IR reports. Inspection of residential bathroom can simply detect moisture damage from the failure of a basement sump pump. The color changes of the wall floor line indicate the extent of the material damage. |
