Thermography in buildings

Having trouble with moisture inside a wall and do not know where it comes from?

You know that you have water leaking from pipes under the floor but do not know where the problem is?

Have insulation problems of the roof and do not know where to look?

Buy or rent home and you want to check for any problems with leaks and humidity;

Non-Destructive Testing

All these questions pretty much we have all been called to respond to our everyday life. Unfortunately, the traditional way of dealing a spill was to dismantle the floor to see its extent. With modern methods, however, the non-destructive testing , namely by thermography in buildings can now be easily , quickly and economically to pinpoint the extent of the damage and organize better and more targeted tackle.

Let us examine in more detail some of the key applications is thermography in buildings and homes.

Energy inspection of Buildings

With the ever rising cost of energy, consumers are now aware that the energy losses are expensive. For this reason the thermographic inspection has become an important tool for identifying energy losses. With thermography in buildings you can quickly and economically identify those parts of the house that have a problem and restore them at the lowest possible cost. The main examples are imperfect insulation of the building, the points that have leakage or a air flow and thermal bridges.

Identifying Moisture and Insulation problems

The most common problems in homes and buildings are leakages from pipes in walls and floors which are not obvious in the resulting point may generate spots with significant amount of moisture which, if it not detected immediately would cause various problems such as mold and erosion at this point.

Other important issues , such as problems with insulation defects in construction can cause major problems with humidity and often create serious problems for both the normal residence of the owners or occupants and the very construction of the building.

Instead we make solutions equivocal results , with very high costs like digging walls and dismantling tiles or entire floors, with thermography can identify precisely those points which have trapped moisture to be directly targeted the restore . So if you are concerned about issues such as roof insulation or just the wall insulation, the moisture in the house or even the moisture in the wall then the only non-destructive method of detection is Thermography .

Locating hidden pipes and leaks

With the use of thermography is feasible to record pipes located in walls and floors. The science of thermography is the main non-destructive testing to detect leaking points, as the main advantage is that there is no intervention and no unnecessary breaking walls and tiles. The thermography detects the points of high concentration of humidity and our largely restricts the area to become the intervention to restore. Also in cases where the particularities of construction is not possible to identify the point where the leak is , the method of Ultrasonic where the specific instrument is a survey, allows us to hear the point of the leak within a wall or floor without no interference ! So if you have problem of leakage and do not want to break the whole bathroom to find it call us to organize together a survey that will take you from unnecessary expenses and hassle!

Inspection of electrical installation

Electricity is both necessary and dangerous for anyone without compliance with the basic principles of maintenance. Electricity can be fatal for the safety of persons by a electric shock or fire caused by unmaintained electrical installation. A key advantage of thermography is that the electrical equipment before any damage, increase the temperature of the hardware. Consequently with a proper thermographic inspection we are able to anticipate a failure before it caused with unknown consequences.

For this reason InfraSpec Engineering has developed a series of resources that gives reliable and economical solutions to everyday problems.
