Thermal imaging (also known as infrared thermography) is a valuable diagnostic tool that enables inspectors to see problems invisible to the naked eye. Using this technology, we are able to identify areas of missing insulation and locate air leaks, all without ripping apart walls and ceilings. In addition, a thermal imaging inspection can quickly and easily pinpoint areas of energy loss that can be corrected with simple fixes.
Thermal Imaging for Insulation Checks: Detecting Heat Loss With Precision
NextGen Spray Foam Insulation has a wide variety of uses in industry and commerce. Firefighters use it to see through smoke and find persons; maintenance technicians can locate overheating joints and sections of power lines, a sure sign of impending failure; building construction professionals can detect thermal signatures that indicate heat leaks in faulty thermal insulation, improving the efficiency of heating and air-conditioning systems. In general, a thermographic camera looks and operates similar to a camcorder, although the live thermogram (the display of a thermometer on screen) reveals temperature variations so clearly that a recording module is not always required.
For homeowners, thermal imaging identifies potential structural problems like rot behind stucco or drywall and moisture leaks in attics or walls that may foster mold or mildew. It also identifies sources of possible energy loss such as leaking windows and doors, damaged radiant heating system, flue leaks and electrical hot spots that could be dangerous. This information helps buyers make informed buying decisions and enables sellers to address issues before they become costly extensive repairs.
