Infrared Inspections provide a significant savings of both time and money!!
Infrared inspection enables a powerful noninvasive inspection method to monitor, diagnose and evaluate the overall efficiency and condition of a home or commercial building. Infrared imaging is indeed the Non-Invasive Truth enabling you to quickly identify problem areas that can’t be seen by the naked eye. IR scanning completely eliminates unnecessary destructive probing methods and IR results are instantly captured and documented with the industry leading PdM Infrared Inspection Software and reporting system providing you with tangible proof of the findings.
Building Energy Efficiency Inspections
We offer comprehensive IR building envelope inspections for heat loss, cold air infiltration, and moisture migration. Cascade Thermal Imaging, Inc. has the technical expertise and the top of the line FLIR infrared camera equipment to evaluate any condition within your home, office or manufacturing facility discernable by temperature.
The U. S. Department of Energy has calculated that 40% of a buildings heat/AC loss is located around windows and doors. Cascade Thermal Imaging, Inc can quickly and non-invasively identify the efficiency of your windows and doors and visually show evidence of any heat or cold air infiltration, as well as any moisture migration in these areas of any structure.
Building Energy Efficiency
The primary diagnostic procedure for determining the thermal performance of a building is Infrared Thermography.
Infrared inspections are performed to identify heating and cooling losses due to poorly insulated or installed windows and doors, poor construction, missing or inadequate insulation and moisture intrusion.
Inexpensively identifying and correcting these types of defects plays a significant role in increasing building efficiency and structural integrity and Thermography can help identify surface temperature variations of the building envelop that relates to problems in the structure, thermal bridging, moisture content and air leakage.
Two primary mechanisms for heat loss in buildings are conduction losses through the walls and air leakage including windows and doors. Both can be accurately identified non-invasively and quickly from the surface of the building by utilizing infrared Thermography. Early detection & correction of these problems can be made before extensive damage occurs, saving both time & money.
The Value of Infrared Predictive Inspection Programs:
- Locate failures before they happen.
- Potential problems can be tracked and trend identified.
- Get easy to understand reports with Thermographic & digital images including temperature information.
Roof Leak Inspections
Infrared Inspection of your roof can pinpoint moisture intrusion and help to define problem areas, we provide total coverage of your roof system. Identifying and outlining areas of moisture intrusion and/or wet insulation within your roof enables you to accurately budget and plan for repairs or replacement, based on known information not guesses. No other testing method can give you a clearer picture of the condition of your roof system for just a few cents per square foot.
Locate the intrusion points non-invasively, quickly and inexpensively. Save time and considerable money on costly and unnecessary demolition.
Locate Radiant In-Floor Heating Systems:
- Save time, money and costly demolition expense and potential damage in locating Radiant in-floor heating systems.
- Locate in-wall and in-ceiling heating systems
- Identify exactly where problems exist within these systems
- Prevent serious water damage due to leaking of radiant heat piping systems, which are failing at an alarming rate at only 6 years of operation.
