INFRARED CAMERAS
FOR BUILDING INSPECTIONS AND DIAGNOSTICS

Identifying trouble areas is extremely important to solving any problems
involving insulation failures.  Using an infrared camera is a non-contact
method for identifying these trouble areas by detecting the difference in
temperature between a problem area and its surroundings.  Plus, because
  it's a non-invasive element it allows us to diagnose the problem
 without tearing apart your building.

All of the example photographs within this page have been taken during a
Western New York winter, so the average outdoor temperature is around 35°F

Example Infrared Photograph


-This picture shows two windows and the surrounding walls,
illustrating that the windows are losing heat around the edges.
(The colder temperature is shown in blue while the warmer is red)

The following photographs are combinations of regular digital pictures along with the infrared. This illustrates the camera's ability to identify specific insulation problems.


               

Both of these photos show a significant loss of heat from within the wall cavity.
Now that the issue has been identified it can now be corrected.
