Answers to Your Thermal Imaging Questions
At BROADCO, we use high-resolution thermal imaging cameras that can detect even minor temperature variations, allowing us to accurately pinpoint areas of moisture intrusion. While thermal cameras don’t directly detect moisture, they identify temperature differences caused by evaporative cooling from wet materials.
Our thermal imaging technology can detect moisture behind walls and other surfaces. Heat transfers through conduction and wet areas tend to be cooler than dry surroundings. By scanning surfaces, our cameras can identify temperature differences that may indicate hidden moisture pockets. This capability allows us to locate and address concealed moisture issues.
Thermal imaging and moisture meters are complementary tools. While moisture meters provide precise moisture content readings at specific points, thermal imaging allows us to quickly scan entire areas and pinpoint potential problem zones. We use both technologies in tandem for a thorough assessment, leveraging the strengths of each method.
While thermal imaging cannot directly detect mold growth, it can identify conditions conducive to mold development. By locating areas of moisture intrusion, our technicians can proactively address these issues before mold has a chance to take hold. Thermal imaging is a powerful tool in our comprehensive mold prevention and remediation services.
