Infrared Thermographic Inspection in Ottawa - Why Thermo Elite Is Your Trusted Provider

 ensure the safety of your building even if it is residential, conventional inspection methods no longer suffice, and thus inspection methods to do so cannot rely solely on visual checks or non-invasive testing. One inspection service which has gained significant traction over the last number of years is infrared thermographic inspection. This is the basis of trust for Thermo Elite, and the technological experience I can report on its usefulness in Ottawa.

What Is Infrared Thermographic Inspection?

Infrared thermographic inspection is a non-destructive diagnostic inspection method that employs high-resolution thermal imaging cameras to identify concealed defects in various building systems including electrical; mechanical; and building envelope (or exterior surfaces). Traditionally building inspection methods consist of visual checks and those invasive methods. Thermography inspections on the other hand can more readily identify and locate issues related to temperature that can be addressed during a preventative inspection, cases have shown thermographic issues with thermographic signatures long before the condition would be classified as an actual defect.

Infrared cameras are able to identify temperature differences on surfaces; discrepancies can indicate concealed defects such as:

• Overheating electrical connections

• Moisture building up behind walls or ceilings

• Insulation loss

• Leaks in roofing systems

• Mechanical components @ high temperatures

In a city like Ottawa, where seasonal temperature changes can cause stress on buildings and equipment, regular thermographic inspections can be an essential preventive measure.
