What is Infrared Imaging?
Infrared imaging helps determine the true condition of a home or building.
Thermography inspections provide a picture (commonly known as infrared imaging) of specific conditions that can’t be revealed using conventional visual inspection methods. Our trained and certified inspectors understand thermodynamics which allows us to detect deficiencies such as moisture intrusion, inefficient energy use and more.
“Our vision is limited to a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thermal energy has a much longer wavelength than visible light. So long, in fact, that the human eye can't even see it, just like we can't see radio waves.
With thermal imaging, the portion of the spectrum we perceive is dramatically expanded, helping us "see" and "measure" thermal energy emitted from an object. Unlike visible light, in the infrared world, everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat. Even very cold objects, like ice cubes, emit infrared. And visible light doesn't affect the thermal world, so you can see equally well in highly lit and totally dark environments.” - FLIR Systems, Inc.

Thermographic cameras detect radiation. The amount of radiation emitted by an object, called “Emissivity”, increases with temperature. Therefore, thermography allows for variations in temperature to be identified which leads us to detect specific deficiencies in the area.
