Benefits of Infared Imaging Services

Infrared Imaging can be a very effective, non intrusive building diagnostic procedure when used professionally for appropriate applications. There are many applications, and recent restrictions on working at height and ever increasing demands for carbon foot print reduction has increased the demand for this service.

Infrared imaging offers a fast, non-invasive means of monitoring and diagnosing the condition of buildings. The benefits include:
Samples Application Benefit
Door Air Leak thermal image Reduction in uncontrolled heat loss Can account 25% or more of a building’s heat loss
Thermal Bridge Infrared image Identify structural defects that create thermal bridges Remove / manage sources of thermal discomfort and  condensation problems
Insulation incontinuity thermal image Check or prove insulation continuity Avoid another source of thermal discomfort and condensation problems
leaks and damp Infrared image Find hidden leaks, source of damp in a building or home Eliminate uncontrolled moisture that can lead to mould and associated health problems
trapped moisture thermal image Ensure building fabric has dried following flooding, identify areas that have been contaminated with hygroscopic elements Avoid storing up trouble by trapping moisture behind new finishes
roof leaks thermal image Identify and isolate roof defects Make effective repairs and avoid expensive early replacement of roof elements
concrete delamination Infrared image Pinpoint areas that need repair e.g. concrete delamination Reduce man-hours spent on preventive maintenance and defect identification
Underfloor heating thermal image Evaluate and verify repair work Peace of mind for repairer and their customer
