THERMAL IMAGING

PriTech Professional Real Estate Inspections, Inc

Structural damages are difficult to discover with traditional inspections and survey procedures.  Different objects give off varying amounts of infrared radiation, depending on the temperature of the object. Infrared images discover the “hidden” defects.

While there are traditional means for discovering hidden or undiscovered damages, Infrared Thermographic Imaging is by far the most comprehensive, State-of-the-Art nondestructive application of technology available. Infrared Imaging assures that every effort has been made to identify hidden issues so that an informed knowledgeable decision may be made by the client.

How Does Infrared Imaging Work?
Imaging Cameras read heat sensitivity differentials and the camera displays the transfer of infrared radiation. As materials differentiate in their thermal mass and heat sinking effects, thermal imaging is a non-contact, line-of-sight measurement technology and can measure surface temperatures of virtually any surface that is then displayed as a digital image.

What Equipment Is Used?
Thermal imagers are instruments that createpictures of heat rather than light. Images may be digitized, stored, processed and printed out. Our Infrared Thermographic Camera is a State-of-the-Art color imaging, radiometric thermal camera.

Where Can Infrared Imaging Be Conducted?
Infrared Imaging may be conducted outdoors or in virtually any space when heat source is present. Images show the variation of temperatures as infrared radiation travels through the surface, revealing anomalies and features, which are displayed as a video image.

When Is Infrared Imaging Useful?
Real estate transactions, mold inspections, electrical, or mechanical inspections where hidden damages may exist and may be viewed due to their heat generation and in some inspections an outside heat source is applied.

Why Infrared Imaging is preferable to other discovery methods?
There are no destructive removals or testing required and a minimal amount of time is invested for the imaging.

We can help…
Infrared Imaging may be used as a tool following traditional procedures to inspect and discover hidden or concealed damages, or moisture intrusion as a result of:
  • Missing Insulation that could drastically increase your  energy bill.
  • Leaking pipes in walls or under carpeted areas.
  • Moisture Intrusion of roofing, siding, windows or flashing failure.
  • Residential and Commercial Surveys
Our goal is to assist in the discovery of hidden issues without resorting to destructive testing and Infrared Thermographic Imaging helps make that possible.

What we do:
  • We utilize IR imaging in all inspections.
  • IR Thermal Imaging is a must for all Residential and Commercial Transactions, Purchasing or Leasing.
  • We observe items that are not visible with the unaided eye.
  • Provide our clients with peace of mind and confidence with every transaction
  • Provide dual images of Infrared and digital photos for addition clarity
Residential and Commercial Infrared Surveys!
Our Infrared Survey is a general analysis at the time of the inspection for your residential or commercial property.  Whether you are pre-listing, pre-purchase, selling or buying, insurance inspections or conducting a partial survey of exhaust, machinery, electrical system, roofing or questions about energy efficiency of your building or home, infrared surveys can save you money!  Contact PriTech for further information or to schedule an appointment.
