              Thermal Infrared Scanning saves you money by:

    Before you purchase a home or business, let us show you what standard inspections do not see! Don't get burned.

    • Preventing costly downtime

    • Preventing costly repairs

    • Preventing injuries to employees

    Thermal Infrared Scanning is a non-contact, non-invasive means of scanning and collecting data. This is done without any equipment having to be shut down. The following are some examples of specific applications:

    • Electrical Systems:

      • Locate loose or oxidized connections before they cause damage or fire

      • Locate overloaded or unbalanced loading

    • Mechanical Systems:

      • Quickly locate misaligned coupling equipment

      • Verify bearings that are going bad

    • Flat Roofs:

    Detecting hydrate formation in flow lines
    Monitoring electrical panels and cable terminations
    Identifying faulty crane SCR units, (third image)
    Bearing and drive shaft monitoring
    Installation of thermal infrared 'windows' for safe visual and thermal inspections in electrical panels
    Monitoring fin-fan efficiency in water cooled systems
    Identifying passing valves in process piping
    Determining insulation degradation on pipe and duct systems
    Monitoring liquid levels in tanks and scale build up in process piping

    Thermal imaging has become very popular in locating problems and predicting future maintenance. Many systems give advance warning of pending failure and or leakage by emitting a heat signature that can be viewed through thermal imaging. Infrared cameras are used to view the area in question and provide insight to the performance of the item by evaluating temperature differences across the surface

    Infrared Building Envelope Inspections

    Locate heat loss problems due to missing, damaged, and wet insulation Find causes of frozen pipes, ice dams, and cold air infiltration. Find concealed moisture entry and leaks at foundation, windows, doors, roofs, and exterior siding.

    Infrared Roof Surveys

    Locate leaks and wet insulation in all types of roof systems, reduce mold risks and stop roof damage. Save thousands in energy costs and repairs by locating hidden problems areas and heat loss.  

    Infrared Electrical Scans

    Accurately pinpoints hot spots in electrical systems. i.e.

    • ¨ Electrical Breakers           ¨ Electric Contactors

    • ¨ Electric Oil Breakers        ¨ Power Grid Surveys

    • ¨ Concealed Wiring           ¨ Over Heat Detection

    Infrared Heating System - A/C Inspections

    Pinpoint problems in boilers, exchangers and other steam system components. Detect leaks and blockages in lines and underground pipe runs, cut fuel and water costs by increasing system efficiency.

    Hot Water Heating System Survey

    • Heating Plant Survey        

    • Heat Loss

    • Boiler Conditioning           

    • Heat Exchanger Evaluation

    Plumbing Evaluations

    • Concealed leakage

    • Damaged Valves

    • Bleed Back        

    • Valve Survey

    Infrared Mechanical Evaluations

    Detects developing problems in all types of equipment.

    • Pumps                            Compressors

    • Engines                          Heat Plants

    • Rotational Equipment      Electrical Equipment

    EIFS / Stucco Inspections

    Non-intrusive evaluation for leaks and water entry of commercial and residential buildings.  

    Pest Inspection

    Concealed Termite and Pest Evaluation.

    Septic System Inspection

    Location and evaluation through thermal imaging.  

    Roof Moisture Survey

    Roof scan: Moisture entry found due to roof cover failure.

    Infrared imaging inspections are used world-wide by building managers, plant engineers and government agencies to accurately locate and quantify moisture trapped within roofing assemblies. The infrared detection technique can be used effectively on virtually all types of low slope roofing systems.

    When the Infrared Roof Moisture Survey Should be Used:

    1. Prior to Final Acceptance and Payment for a new roofing system.
    2. Before the warranty expires.
    3. Before acquiring real estate.
    4. Before re-roofing over an existing roof assembly.
    5. For early detection of problems in order to minimize long term repair costs.
    6. Before preparing your budget request for roof repairs
    7. Whenever leaks occur.
