The benefits of infrared inspections

The varying levels of infrared radiation can then be analyzed to figure out the problems in various parts of the building. When performed by a thermography professional , this process can help you find all the underlying issues in your building and provide a good case study of your building’s problems over time. Here are some benefits and uses of infrared inspection.

Getting a building inspected can be a grueling task that takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money.

In some cases, even after examinations by multiple professionals, it is hard to find out in any detail about the issues a building faces. In recent years, the technology has become available to perform an inspection on a building using infrared cameras.

When an electrical appliance or connection is working properly, it will give off a certain amount of infrared radiation. Trained professionals can look at the thermal scan of electrical areas and figure out which areas are malfunctioning or not working at all. This helps find out about problems way earlier than any other method would let you and getting to prevent failures in the future. The changes in operating temperatures of electrical fixtures lets professionals iron out problems without having to open every fuse box and electrical wiring.

If you’re having an inspection done on a public or multi-family building, it would be a great hassle to have inspectors walk through the building. It would also take a lot of time to cover each aspect of the building depending on the size and number of floors. A thermal inspection can be done externally with zero interference with the everyday workings of the building. Once an external thermal scan highlights the problem areas, more in-depth thermal scans can be performed on just the areas where problems have been detected. This saves a lot of time and assures minimum intrusion.

As you won’t have to hire multiple service professionals to spend hours scouring through your building, the cost for the inspection will automatically be lower. An infrared inspection can normally be performed by just one professional with thermal imaging gear.

Normal inspections result in a report by the inspector that elaborates on the issues found by the inspector. As this report is the inspector’s subjective opinion, you cannot guarantee their accuracy. An infrared inspection provides actual facts about your property and scientific methods are used to come to an opinion about the issues in your building.

As infrared inspections measure changes in heat levels , having multiple inspection reports in your record will help you keep an eye on your building’s problems over time. The difference in reported levels from one inspection to the next will help you get to burgeoning issues before time and find patterns in the maintenance issues of your building.
