Thermal Inspections
Thermal drone scans offer far more than mere images; they furnish in-depth understandings of the thermal attributes and conditions of environments.
​
For a thermal drone scan of your building or home, entrusting the task to a certified thermographer is imperative. Without adequate training, interpreting thermal images accurately becomes impossible, resulting in erroneous information.
​
We ensure a certified thermographer oversees our thermal inspection services, providing you with assurance and precision.​​
​This is particularly beneficial for large commercial flat roofing systems like SBS Modified Bitumen and TPO. Our thermal assessments detect hidden water trapped in the insulation between the roof membrane and the deck. If contractors suggest an overlay without removing the existing material, this inspection highlights areas where trapped moisture could lead to significant deck damage in the future.
Know what's happening on your roof before costly problems arise!​
Below is an example of the water intrusion damage that a thermal inspection can uncover compared to what is visible to the naked eye. The first image is a standard photo of a commercial flat roof, while the second image is a thermal image of the same area. The thermal scan reveals water intrusion that would have gone unnoticed without this specialized inspection.

Thermal drone scans cover a spectrum of applications and advantages for building and construction inspections, such as:
-
Detecting Roof Leaks: Identifying areas of water infiltration or roof damage by analyzing temperature variations.
-
Insulation Inspection: Assessing insulation quality and locating gaps or deficiencies in the building envelope.
-
Electrical System Assessment: Detecting overheating electrical components, potentially preventing fires or equipment failure.
-
Energy Efficiency Analysis: Pinpointing thermal leaks or areas of energy loss to improve a building's overall energy efficiency.​
-
Safety Inspections: Identifying areas of potential hazard due to overheating equipment or electrical issues.
-
Preventive Maintenance: Enabling proactive maintenance measures to address issues before they worsen, saving on long-term repair costs.
-
Quality Control: Ensuring that construction and renovation work meets quality standards and specifications.
​
-
Solar Panel Inspections: We can identify malfunctioning or underperforming solar panels by detecting variations in temperature, enabling efficient maintenance and maximizing energy production.
-
Documentation for Insurance Claims: Providing detailed and irrefutable evidence for insurance claims, expediting the approval process.
