The Applied Technical Services (ATS) Family of Companies’ thermal imaging services allow our personnel to provide quick and thorough scans for structural deficiencies. This analysis method allows our experts to identify problems that the naked eye may not see nondestructively. We utilize this tool to supplement traditional forensic evaluations and assist in accurately indicating damage sources.
Infrared Thermography
Infrared thermography utilizes heat imaging to locate invisible infrared electromagnetic waves, detect surface temperatures, and generate thermal patterns in visual images. With IR thermography, inspectors can pinpoint distinctive thermal patterns and decipher their potential meanings— ranging from water or air leakage to insulation irregularities to excessively hot electrical connections.
The Importance of Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging can help detect structural damages caused by moisture intrusion, electrical hot spots, and even wood-damaging organisms. Regularly performing this critical maintenance practice keeps owners and managers aware of conditions throughout their building or structure. When done correctly, thermal imaging can protect equipment and ensure it is always running at safe and efficient levels. Overall, it is a cost-saving, non-intrusive examination that reduces workplace hazards.
Property and Facility Management
Thermal imaging is an efficient way to detect problems with electrical, mechanical, and structural systems, such as:
- Detecting and preventing decay and mold
- Detecting the formation of condensation
- Distant heating system inspection
- Drying efficiency of ceilings, floors, and walls
- Home electrical inspection
- HVAC system performance and repair
- Indoor environment inspection
- Long-time construction damages
Water, Leak, Condensation, And Humidity Detection Services
- Inspecting door seals
- Inspecting for moisture intrusion
- Inspecting heating systems
- Inspection using dew point thermography
- Inspecting wall seals for heat loss
- Testing for air tightness
- Thermography on building envelope
- Thermography on floor heating
- Thermography to locate moisture in roofs
Moisture and Indoor Air Quality
Moisture within the building envelope can have serious consequences. This infiltration most often results from either condensation or leakage. Our thermal imaging services quickly detect water and the extent of damage using moisture meters.
HVAC and Plumbing
When scanning a structure for damages, thermal imaging cameras can identify potential issues with a building envelope, HVAC system, or plumbing system.
