Our Carlsbad infrared inspections are done by certified thermographers with years of experience and training. Since 2002, We have been providing Carlsbad infrared inspections for homeowners, commercial property owners, doctors, lawyers, restraruant owners, contractors, property managers, factories and manufacturing facilities. "Knowledge is king", is a famous slogan. When it comes to buying or leasing an Carlsbad property this statement could not be truer. With an Carlsbad infrared inspection you will know the condition of the property without destructive testing.

Infrared Thermography

Infrared thermography uses an infrared bolometer to read and detect radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum, and then produce a thermal image that can be used in building inspection. Infrared radiation is emitted by all building materials and the amount of radiation emitted increases with temperature. All objects emit infrared radiation. Infrared energy is generated by the vibration and rotation of atoms and molecules. The higher the temperature of an object, the more the motion and hence the more infrared energy is emitted. This is the energy detected by an infrared camera. 

The ability of both objects to emit or absorb this radiation is called emissivity. Emissivity is a term representing a material's ability to emit thermal radiation. Each material has a different emissivity. A thermal imaging camera is capable of performing algorithms to interpret that data and build an image. By using the correct emissivity of the specific building material and a series of mathematical algorithms the thermographer is able to provide a thermogram. It allows for evaluation of the temperature differences in the surrounding building materials. With this image and the knowledge of the building envelop an experienced thermographer is able to determine the precise location of the anomaly and most often the cause of such an anomaly.

The use of infrared thermography in our Carlsbad building evaluations is state of the art. The newest and latest technologies are used to provide the best, most accurate and thorough inspection available today. Your Carlsbad thermographer can use this non-destructive investigative technique to check:

Building Envelopes and Structures

Thermal heat loss or gain
Identify air leakage energy losses
Locate radiant heating wires or pipes
Moisture intrusion evaluations
Locate missing, damaged or wet insulation
Locate and identify mold growth within the building
Identify over loaded electrical circuits, breakers, panels & wiring
Concrete water heated floor inspections for leaks & temperature distribution
Evaluate the thermal performance of retrofits

Roofing Systems

Flat roof leak detection for buildings
Identify water damaged portions of a roof quickly & accurately
Eliminate unnecessary replacement of good roofing

Predictive Maintenance

Locate overheating components before failure
