What is Infrared Thermal Imaging?

Infrared Thermography is the science of detecting, displaying and recording thermal patterns and temperatures across the surfaces of objects.  While our eyes see (detect) the Visible Light Spectrum, an infrared thermal imaging camera detects the Infrared Spectrum and displays it as a visible light image.

This makes an infrared thermal imager a powerful diagnostic tool in the hands of a trained thermographer.  Thermography is useful for locating missing or improperly installed insulation, hidden moisture from building envelope or plumbing leaks, water floor heating pipes, subsurface moisture in commercial flat roof systems, electrical defects, and more.

Since thermal inspections are non-destructive, problem areas can be located without the need for demolition of components or structures.
