What's Building Thermal Imaging?
Thermography (often called Infrared) is a non-contact, two dimensional and real time way of measure the thermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal (or infrared energy) is light that is not visible to the naked eye and we perceive it as heat. Our infrared cameras produce interpretable images of invisible heat radiation giving us a unique ability to measure heat without contact.
Using this camera areas of higher moisture content can be detected because they normally give off a different heat pattern to those areas around it, showing a real time image on the screen, that can then be interpreted. When used in conjunction with a Non-Invasive Moisture Meter, these tools are invaluable for tracking and identifying moisture issues within a building.

In What Situations Should I Request Thermal Imaging?
Thermal Imaging can be complimentary to a standard building inspection or can be carried out as a "stand alone" Thermal Imaging inspection . It is particularly useful for Monolithic clad homes as these are at a higher risk of having moisture issues. Infrared Technology can identify moisture and insulation issues within a home, that are otherwise unrecognisable and aren't found during a standard building inspection.
What's the Process?
Get in touch with us so we can discuss the property you're intending to image and we can give you a cost estimate. We can then arrange a time to meet at the property of your choice, While we prefer that you the customer are present at the time of inspection this is not always necessary. An inspection on an average size home takes approx 1.5 - 2 hrs,
Once we have completed the inspection we will discuss with you our findings in an easy to understand language, depending on your needs we then take the information away and compile a report of our findings. A full documented report including photographs can be emailed back to you within 48 hours or even faster if needed. You as the customer will be the only person that sees the report we will not hand the report to any third party, What you do with it after you receive it is totally up to you.
