Thanks to new infrared technology provided by WORLD MASTER SPEC we can give you infrared pictures of damage the eye cannot see.. Note the normal digital pictures did not show a wet spot. lLake Ozark infrared home inspections, lake ozark mold inspections, home inspections, Lake Ozark home inspections, Lake Ozark thermography inspections, Missouri home inspectionsLake Oxark home inspections , Missouri energy ausHome inspections

 

Infrared thermagraphy while not Xray vision, it  is next best thing

Buying a home, let us help we have been inspecting homes for 17 years

What once was only thought of as military scientific or medical technology, Many airlines use infrared to find water in wings, fuseloge and other areas of a plane.Infrared Imaging is now being used by a few home inspectors.

Buying a home, Storm damage or Energy Audits

Benefits of Infrared, Here are the important aspects for you, and/or your company, to consider in having an infrared inspection survey

Infrared can find damage to a home that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Infrared is competitively priced when compared with conventional inspection methods that are often less effective

Infrared offers visual documentation of a thermal image to use for comparison to later inspections, for correctiveactions,or in prioritizing faults for later repairs and considerations

Infrared is an advanced technology that allows you to ‘see’ the thermal image of an object and measure its temperature for analysis which traditional inspection methods will not give you

Infrared saves you time... it finds problems quickly and it is a non-destructive inspection application

  • Water intrusion: scanning interior surfaces of a building with an infrared camera can reveal excess moisture due to plumbing leaks, roof leaks, leaks around windows, etc.  High moisture areas of building materials cool when energy is transferred during the water evaporation process; therefore, a high moisture (“cooler”) area will stand out from the surrounding dry (“warmer”) surface.
     

  • Insulation deficiencies: appreciable temperature differences, due to variations in thermal energy (heat) transfer, allow for detection of deficient or missing insulation when scanning ceiling and wall surfaces.
     

  • Roofing leaks: scanning roof coverings can reveal water intrusion and accumulated moisture below the surface. Due to its thermal properties (high thermal capacity), water typically gives up heat at a much slower rate than the surrounding roof materials. The areas of accumulated moisture can therefore be detected when scanning the roof surface.  This type of roof inspection is best done in the evening or early nighttime after thermal energy imparted during the daytime is transferred or released.
     

  • Electrical systems: deficiencies within the electrical system can be made visually apparent by use of an infrared camera.  For example, a deficient connection between electrical components can result in resistance which will manifest in an apparent temperature elevation when compared with similar types of connections under similar load conditions.
     

  • Structural issues: differences in thermal capacity, conductivity, and other intrinsic qualities of building structural components can allow for their detection when scanning walls, floors, and ceilings with an infrared camera. Under the right conditions, missing structural components, and portions of structural components which are damaged (to the extent that their intrinsic qualities are significantly changed), can be detected.

  • Below pictures of wind driven rain damage during a storm

Water damage could not be seen in left picture

Damp spot (very dark area) inside the wall clearly seen in infrared picture on right.

The above problem would have been missed, with just a visual inspection.
