INFRARED (THERMOGRAPHY) SCAN SERVICE
WHAT IS AN INFRARED (THERMOGRAPHY) SCAN SERVICE?
A non-contact inspection that uses a professional specialized camera and temperature differentiation to assist in detecting electrical defects, water and air temperature changes, air and moisture intrusion, and leaks.
REASONS TO OBTAIN AN INFRARED SCAN SERVICE:
1. Identify Hidden Electrical Hazards
Detect Overheating: Scans can pinpoint overloaded circuits, loose or corroded connections, and failing breakers that could lead to fires.
Maintain Safety: By finding these "hot spots" early, you can prevent electrical system failures and ensure the safety of occupants.
Compliance: Many safety regulations (like NFPA 70B) and insurance providers now require periodic IR electrical inspections.
2. Uncover Moisture and Plumbing Issues
Find Hidden Leaks: IR cameras detect temperature differences caused by moisture, revealing active roof leaks or plumbing leaks behind walls without tearing them apart.
Prevent Mold: Early detection of moisture helps mitigate conditions conducive to mold, fungus, and wood decay.
3. Improve Energy Efficiency
Locate Energy Loss: Scans identify areas where heat is escaping or cold air is entering due to missing or damaged insulation and air leaks around windows or doors.
HVAC Performance: They can find disconnections in ductwork or vents and identify issues with in-floor heating systems.
4. Predictive Maintenance for Business and Industry
Reduce Downtime: IR scans are performed while equipment is running under normal loads, meaning there is no need to shut down operations for the inspection.
Equipment Longevity: Regular scanning of motors, bearings, and transformers helps identify mechanical friction or thermal breakdown before a total breakdown occurs.
5. Essential Due Diligence for Residential & Commercial Real Estate Buyers
Verify Repairs: It can confirm if previously reported issues have been properly remediated before you close on a property.
Detect Pests: Large nests from rodents or other pests can sometimes be identified by the heat signatures they emit.
