What is Thermography?
Convection
Conduction
Radiation
Infrared Thermography
Building materials radiate energy
Visual Image
These two glasses
visually appear the
same.
Thermal Image
Thermal Imaging with
an infrared camera.
Paints a different
picture.
Infrared Thermography
IR thermography can be used to trace the
influx of moisture to find the ultimate source
of leakage with little or no physical
disassembly of the premises.
With current models of IR cameras, images
can be made in seconds.

Infrared Thermography
IR thermography can then be used to
accurately monitor the drying process.
IR cameras can inspect places that
cant be physically reached with a
moisture meter.
Water Damage
Thermal Imaging
Where can it help us
Identifying point of water ingress
Track spread of water
Identifying maintenance issues
Identify issues with insulation
Identify areas of air infiltration
Assist with trace and access
Damaged/Missing Insulation
Building Diagnostics
Buildings may be quickly and thoroughly
scanned using a thermal imager, identifying
problem areas that can't be seen by the naked
eye
Additional Equipment
Acoustic Leak
Detection
Disadvantages
Cannot see through
walls; only detects
surface temperature
differentials
Cannot detect
subsurface damage
(i.e. mould or
structural damage)
