Electrical Survey
For facility managers, maintenance leaders, and conscientious building owners, prioritizing safety, production efficiency, and equipment integrity is paramount. To uphold these standards, a routine Infrared (IR) thermographic survey of your electrical switchgear, distribution system, and mechanical equipment is indispensable.
In accordance with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70B §11.17.5, it is recommended that every commercial and industrial building in the United States undergoes an IR survey at least once a year. Moreover, insurance companies increasingly mandate IR surveys for their insured clients, with potential incentives such as premium discounts.
By investing in Electrical Infrared Thermographic Surveys, you can proactively identify potential issues, mitigating the risks of costly downtime, production loss, unnecessary repairs, and potentially catastrophic failures. Elevate your facility's reliability, productivity, and overall profitability by embracing the power of regular electrical surveys.

Roof Moisture Survey
Infrared thermography offers a non-invasive method for identifying moisture within a roofing system, proving invaluable for building owners and roofing professionals. By harnessing the power of infrared technology, we can discern variations in temperature that indicate the presence of moisture in the roof.
During daylight hours, the sun's warmth permeates the roof, causing it and the underlying materials to heat up. Moisture-retaining areas retain this warmth for extended periods, creating detectable temperature differences. Infrared thermography precisely measures these temperature variations, producing a thermal image that highlights regions of the roof susceptible to moisture.
Come nightfall, when the sun no longer influences the roof's temperature, the surrounding air cools. The roof then releases heat through radiational cooling. Infrared technology remains invaluable during this process, discerning the slower cooling rate of wet areas compared to dry ones.
This non-destructive approach to moisture detection is a game-changer, sparing building owners and roofing professionals from the need to physically remove roofing materials. This not only saves precious time and money but also facilitates timely repairs. By identifying and addressing moisture before it leads to significant damage, infrared thermography becomes an indispensable tool in not only saving costs but also extending the life of the roof.

Moisture Intrusion Survey
Building moisture issues pose multifaceted challenges, impacting both the structural integrity of a building and the well-being of its occupants. The repercussions range from structural damage and health concerns to elevated energy costs and diminished property value. However, with strategically conducted moisture intrusion surveys, these issues can be mitigated, safeguarding the longevity and health of your buildings.
Leveraging the precision of infrared technology, we employ an innovative approach to pinpoint and rectify building moisture issues. By detecting subtle changes in the heat signature of a building, often indicative of moisture-related anomalies, we can proactively address potential problems. Our comprehensive building moisture services extend to both exterior and interior surveys, utilizing the capabilities of infrared technology to identify and resolve issues efficiently. This proactive strategy not only ensures the immediate well-being of the building and its occupants but also contributes to prolonged structural integrity, cost savings, and sustained property value over time.
