Thermographic surveys - the basics

The use of thermal imaging equipment is becoming increasingly popular over recent years to assist with non destructive inspections. Their use of infrared cameras to detect heat patterns is a powerful tool that can help reveal hidden defects such as moisture intrusion and structural damage as well as heat loss.

However, before you consider the use of thermographic equipment, what do you need to know and what are the issues and problems of using thermographic diagnostic tools that are not generally obvious or discussed?

For those interested in finding out more, click on the video and watch Anthony Walker from Thermosurvey explain the basics.
