MOISTURE INTRUSION
The source of moisture intrusion may not be an obvious one.
Infrared technology can:
- Trace moisture intrusion to its source using temperature variances
- Use an objects' temperature signature to identify existing temperature differences
- Determine thermal anomalies
Infrared thermal imaging can identify areas of moisture intrusion so they can be replaced with a minimum expenditure of time and money. Monies are saved by only replacing the areas damaged or needing repair.
Infrared technology can be used on all interior walls and floors to identify any anomalies that exist, moisture intrusion, insulation voids and in-floor radiant heat systems.
Our Infrared Technician found water intrusion in this thermal image and traced the source to a disconnected down spout.

The moisture had traveled down the exterior corner of the building, then entered the building at the corner junction of the floor/wall area traveling along the floor and spreading up the sheetrock.
Visually the sheetrock at this ceiling appears to be normal. However, the Thermal Image reveals that there is moisture intrusion from an open roof flashing. If this intrusion is allowed to continue, a water stain will eventually appear on the sheetrock ceiling.
