Invest In Infrared Building Envelope Consulting for Long-Term Benefits

The building envelope is regarded as the single most crucial aspect of a building. A defect or damage to any of the elements of a building envelope could irrevocably impact the structural integrity of your building. Infrared building envelope consulting can help you effectively spot and address these problems.

Founded in 1988, Infrared Consulting Services is a leading infrared testing services provider. Our testing services can be seamlessly used at several different stages be it protective testing, on-going maintenance-based testing or problem detection testing.

As opposed to conventional inspection methods, there are several advantages of opting for infrared-based building envelope inspection. Thermal imaging is an essentially non-invasive and non-destructive inspection method. When carrying out this inspection, the everyday activities and operating conditions of your building aren't interrupted or affected.

It makes use of temperature sensing scanners that are able to gather temperature signatures that lie well beyond the range of visible light. The data collated through infrared building envelope consulting can be effectively used for zeroing in on several problems.

These include:

• Air infiltration and exfiltration
• Moisture laden insulation or voids in insulation
• Moisture penetration into the wall assembly
• Heating and cooling problems

We recommend that you carry out infrared building envelope consulting under the following situations:

• Before acquiring real property
• Before making the final payment for a new construction to your building contractor
• As part of your building’s energy conservation plan

As an independent building envelope consultant, you can expect our test results to be highly accurate and reliable. To learn more, please visit www.irtest.com.

Top 3 Reasons to Choose Infrared Roof Moisture Inspection

Roofing systems on a building need to be well maintained in order to protect the overall structural integrity of the building. Leaks, cracks, and moisture penetration into the roofing is detrimental to the building structure as well as the electrical systems of the building.

An infrared roof moisture survey can help you detect problems before they escalate into serious safety concerns. At Infrared Consulting Services (ICS), we simplify roof inspection with accurate, easy-to-understand reports and professional service.

Here are the top three reasons to opt for ICS infrared roof inspection services:

• It is more thorough than other types of inspections: An Infrared Roof Evaluation Survey employs both infrared detection to locate wet materials within the roofing assembly, and a visual inspection to determine and document the surface condition of the roofing and roofing components. Used on virtually all types of low slope roofing systems, the combination of the infrared and visual inspection methods provides for a far more complete evaluation than a visual inspection alone.
• Accurately predict your ongoing roof maintenance and repair costs: The infrared roof moisture survey, visual inspection and evaluation provides you with the necessary information and documentation to make accurate decisions regarding the repair or replacement of your roofs.
• Works with most types of roofing:  The infrared roof moisture survey is used worldwide by building managers, plant engineers and government agencies to accurately locate and quantify moisture trapped within roofing assemblies. The infrared detection technique can be used effectively on virtually all types of low slope roofing systems.

Is thermal imaging inspection cost effective?

Powerful, Versatile, and Highly Accurate

Thermal imaging inspections are essentially a non-invasive, non-destructive inspection process that uses temperature sensing scanners. These devices gather temperature signatures that lie beyond the range of visible light. Analysis of this data will help you detect a wide range of problems in building systems and structures, including moisture intrusion, missing or damaged insulation, overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, loose electrical connections, construction defects, and storm damage.

Look Before You Leap

Whether you are looking to purchase or are managing existing
properties the ability to assess the existing condition and to find hidden problems can be of real value. Infrared Consulting Services, Inc. baseline thermal imaging inspections establish and document the baseline condition at a point in time which can be referred to in the future if problems develop.
