Thermal image Capture
Thermal imaging surveys are a non-invasive and highly effective method of assessing the temperature variations of a building or structure. Using specialised infrared cameras, thermal surveys detect heat patterns that reveal hidden problems such as poor insulation, water leaks, air leaks, electrical faults, and even pest infestations. Infrared thermography works by capturing infrared radiation emitted by objects and converting it into a visible image. These images, known as thermograms, display heat signatures as different colours or shades, depending on the temperature of the surface being examined.
The ability to detect even the smallest temperature differences means that thermal surveys can identify issues that traditional inspection methods might miss. For example, you might not notice a subtle water leak behind a wall, but a thermal camera can pick up on the heat signature caused by moisture, helping you spot a problem early before it turns into something more severe, such as structural damage or mould growth.
