Our Infrared Services

Thermographic Inspections

Thermographic inspection is a type of nondestructive testing (NDT) that involves imaging temperature fields, gradients, and/or patterns ("thermograms") at the surface of an object. Detecting temperature differences with infrared thermography allows us to provide a broad spectrum of services, limited only by one's imagination. Our focus is on three types of services: Electrical / Mechanical, Roof Moisture and Building Envelope Energy Loss.

IR Roof Moisture Inspection Report

During the day, the sun heats the entire roof system and when the sun goes down, the roof cools down - except where there is moisture laden insulation. These areas remain warmer well into the night. Using our thermal camera we identify wet areas and mark them directly on roof surface and document on a scaled roof drawing. Our clients then have the information they need to order the necessary repairs and not trap damaging moisture in the roof system.

IR Electrical & Mechanical Inspections

Infrared electrical scans performed on a regular basis can help you increase profitability while lowering your operating, testing, and maintenance costs. Excessive electrical resistance, malfunctioning components, ground faults, short circuits, and other typical problems in electric equipment signal high temperatures, which can lead to costly or even catastrophic failures. We use cutting-edge infrared detection technology to quickly and reliably find thermal anomalies that risk the safety and dependability of your electrical systems.

IR Heat Loss Inspections

Whether it's winter or summer, identifying the sources of energy loss is the first step in lowering energy expenditures. The main sources of pain are missing insulation and drafts; Infrared Thermography can locate both of these issues. Infrared heat loss inspections on business and residential structures locate missing insulation and air penetration. There is no other method that works as well or as quickly as an infrared inspection.

Roof Moisture Scans

Our infrared roof moisture scan services will provide you with the information you need to make better long-term roof repairs and maintenance decisions while also saving you money. A roof infrared moisture scan is a scientifically established means of evaluating your roof system, providing you with the unbiased information you need to make financially informed decisions about your most important and expensive asset. A roof infrared moisture scan will pin-point the areas of your roof where moisture is present allowing tremendous cost savings on unnecessary replacement.

Electrical Mechanical Scans

Electrical mechanical scans are used by businesses to inspect and diagnose mechanical and electrical equipment. These instruments make it possible for professionals to safely inspect electrical equipment, even when it's in use. Thermal imaging cameras and non-contact measurement equipment, in addition to troubleshooting, can aid in the optimization of the manufacturing process and quality control monitoring.

Building Envelope Energy Loss Surveys

Energy loss in the building envelope can be easily identified using our thermal cameras. Missing insulation in attics and sidewalls allows heat to escape the building wasting energy - and money. This is also true of leaky windows and doors. The correction of these issues is often extremely cost-effective because of the relatively low cost of caulk and insulation.

Top Quality Reports

Whether for roof, electrical or heat loss inspections, our reports give you the information you need to make the correct decisions regarding your facility. We pinpoint the problem areas in our electronic reports which are delivered within one week of survey completion.

What is Thermography?

Thermography is the workmanship and study of utilizing infrared to notice and quantify the temperature of an item's surface. Infrared is certifiably not an "X-Ray" innovation; it can't "see" through objects. Just warmth, transmitting from the outside of an item, is noticeable to the infrared imager.

Infrared radiation involves a little segment of the absolute electromagnetic range. It is situated at frequencies just beneath the most reduced frequencies of the apparent light segment of the range, which is red, subsequently the name infrared or underneath the red. Infrared frequencies range from is .1um to 1000um.

Each actual item is comprised of particles and electrons which vibrate; the temperature of an article relies upon how quickly its electrons are vibrating. The quicker they vibrate, the higher the energy levels and the hotter the article gets. As temperature builds, the frequency diminishes
Why infrared?

Infrared thermography for building science applications is the most progressive non-damaging testing/assessment application for building investigation administrations. It can distinguish building deserts past the noticeable investigation recognizing potential issues that can cost a lot more money to fix down the road.
Can the inspection be performed without any service interruptions?

Almost all electrical equipment has a service interlock that allows access for inspection without shutting off the power.

Can the inspection be performed without any service interruptions?

Almost all electrical equipment has a service interlock that allows access for inspection without shutting off the power.
How long will the inspection take?

The limiting factor is usually how fast the covers can be removed/replaced.
What kind of report can I expect at the end of the inspection?

A full composed report itemizing every one of the warm inconsistencies distinguished with a warm and full-shading picture for every issue. Affirmed Infrared will likewise suggest fix methods dependent on the seriousness of the issue and the criticality of the piece of hardware. You will likewise get a full rundown of all the hardware that was assessed.
