Infrared Detection
Thermography is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement camera to "see" and "measure" thermal energy emitted from an object. State of the art thermal imaging technology is being used to:
locate termite and/or carpenter ant infestations
find rodents and their nests
detect the sources of water leaks
find existing mold
detect current water damage
locate areas of heat loss, and more!

The Camera
Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be detected by the human eye; it's the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Unlike visible light, in the infrared world, everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat. Even very cold objects, like ice cubes, emit infrared. The higher the object's temperature, the greater the IR radiation emitted. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes cannot.
Infrared thermography cameras produce images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise non-contact temperature measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets hot before it fails, making infrared cameras extremely cost-effective, valuable diagnostic tools in many diverse applications. And as industry strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies, manage energy, improve product quality, and enhance worker safety, new applications for infrared cameras continually emerge.
Moisture can damage roofs, ceilings, floors and structural components as well as electrical wiring, appliances and furniture. It also leads to mold growth, a potential health hazard that can make a home uninhabitable.
Infrared scanning is ideal for uncovering hidden moisture," "This moisture, left undetected, may cause serious problems down the line. It's crucial to find it now rather than later."
