Factoid:

Infrared light is part of the same electromagnetic spectrum as visible light, but it is not visible to the human eye.

Infrared light is associated with heat and is emitted by all objects at temperatures above absolute zero. Specialized equipment can detect infrared light and display it as a visible image for analysis and interpretation. Our infrared thermography camera uses the same basic technology as military and scientific devices.

Read our infrared and thermography primer and see how infrared thermography can open up a whole new spectrum of information.

Infrared Thermography Services

Our high performance infrared cameras (FLIR EX320) provides greater sensitivity, 6 times the resolution and far greater range of measurement than the equipment most commonly employed by most Home Inspection Companies. We can see and measure things that they cannot.

Residential Thermal Inspections

Our infrared camera measures and photographs the non-visible Infrared light emitted by all objects. This allows us to visualize very minute gradients in the surface temperatures of materials, such as walls and ceilings. Infrared technology is highly effective at detecting moisture issues (even before they become visible to the eye), insulation and air infiltration deficiencies and electrical component malfunctions. Our Certified Level 1 Thermographer is trained and qualified to perform thermal scans in conjunction with your conventional home inspection or as a stand alone service.

Industrial / Electrical Inspections

Facility managers: if you want to employ thermal measurement techniques as part of your predictive maintenance program, but lack the thermography equipment or training, we can help. We can work with you to capture and document the necessary measurements for your assessment against operational norms.

Other Thermography Services

Infrared technology can effectively be used for veterinary and medical purposes, as well. We can work with your veterinarian to capture images for their interpretation (we do not do medical imaging).
