Building Infrared Inspections

Present day energy expenses are sky rocketing. Building owners, Facilities Managers please ask yourself the following questions:

A Infrared Thermal Imaging Thermographic Survey of your building and it’s associated heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems will identify areas where energy is being wasted, saving you money.

Examples of Air Intrusion

Building and construction can leave behind their fair share of unseen problems if not properly. These problems have for years remained hidden until the ever increasing use of Infrared Thermal Imaging Thermography as a fault finding tool.

We Have Performed Infrared Thermal Imaging of Many Different Building Types:

Domestic Dwellings Thermal Imaging.
High rise condominiums Infrared Inspections
Mid rise commercial buildings Thermography.
Hotels, Motels Infrared Inspections
Single/Multi story commericla office buildings.
Commercial Infrared Inspections.
Industrial Thermal Imaging.

Add to this the ever increasing demand for Infrared Thermal Imaging & Thermography as a fault analysis tool in civil/Structural engineering:

Monitoring the laying of asphalt paving.
Missing grout in masory walls using infrared survey.
Flat Roof leaks detection using Thermal Imaging.
Building Exterior envelope Mositure detection using Infrared Inspection.
Missing/wet insulation behind walls.
Energy Audits using Infrared Inspections.
Structrual Beams, Columns detection Using Thermal Imaging after construction.
Checking for delamination of renders and paint finishes.

Faults/Conditions We Can Survey For:

Cold Air, Insulation Problems and Thermal Bridging

Flat Roof Leaks and Water Intrusion Paths

Flat roof leak detection was notoriously difficult to carry out successfully and accurately until now. Water will travel great distances from its ingress location to where it eventually starts dripping from a ceiling and this process can take a long time, so often the problem has been in existence for quite some time before the obvious leak starts.

We use thermal imaging infrared cameras to identify/locate areas of moist/damp insulation under the roof membrane; a thermal image will be taken of the problem area(s) and the results of the survey are presented in a report along with a plan drawing of the roof indicating the areas for repair.

This process will result in the replacement of only damaged areas of the roof membrane, where in the past complete roofs were often replaced unnecessarily and at great cost to the owner.

Underfloor Heating Systems

Do you know the location of your underfloor heating coils?

We can locate them easily with our infrared thermal imaging cameras, once located you can plan alterations without any worry of hitting those pipes.

Are you a plumber/heating engineer with a possible leak on an underfloor heating circuit?

If so, we can help by identifying any leaks quickly and easily thus minimizing the repair costs normally associated with leaking underfloor heating systems.

Other Faults/Conditions We Can Survey For:

Building Envelope faults detection using thermal imaging.
Insulation Faults detection using Infrared imaging.
Air Leaks in buildings using thermography.
Humid Walls – Condensation finding with Infrared cameras.
Water ingress on terraces using thermal imaging.
Leaky valves on radiatorsusing infrared inmaging.
Location of water leaks
Location of timber studs inside walls using thermal imaging.
Water infiltration behind stucco using thermal imaging.
Damaged double glazing
Any other fault only limited by your imagination
