INFRARED MOISTURE SURVEYS

INFRARED MOISTURE SURVEYS

For the majority of roofing systems, Infrared Moisture Surveys are the most effective way to locate and document water intrusion. Infrared Roof Surveys help avoid unnecessary repairs and premature roof replacements. This can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings.

Use Infrared Roof Moisture Surveys To:

  • Locate damaged roof areas and quickly repair them.
  • Determine acceptable roof areas that can be kept.
  • Provide a quality assurance report after new installations.
  • Verify roof condition before a warranty expiration or building purchase.
  • Determine the extent of storm damage for an insurance claim.
  • Provide legal documentation on the condition of the roof.
  • Dispute resolution.
  • New building enclosure commissioning.
  • Real estate transactions.
  • Building maintenance.
Efficiently locating damaged roof areas and assessing how much of a roof actually requires repair can make a significant difference in roof repair costs.

The Hidden Costs Of Water Damage

Moisture damage in the roof decreases the effectiveness of the building's insulation. This causes the life span of the insulation to be reduced and creates increased heating costs. It also creates mold growth which can spread to other parts of the building, cause environmental hazards, as well as further reducing the lifespan of other building materials.


Hiring Pros is Essential.

Accurate infrared roof moisture detection requires extensive experience and equipment matched to this task.

We're your source for accurate tests you can count on.

How It Works:

  • During the day, the roof absorbs sunlight and heats up. Due to greater thermal capacity, any areas of the roof containing moisture will absorb more heat during this time than areas with dry insulation. At night, the roof releases this solar gain, and the dry areas of the roof will cool down faster than those areas retaining moisture.
  • Utilizing our professional imaging equipment after sunset, we can locate areas with moisture damage based on their thermal signature. We plainly mark these areas on the visible roof surface with spray paint or crayon for fast and easy repairs.
  • We record all relevant details of each problem found and supply a comprehensive report to assist our clients with future repairs or legal documentation.
  • AJP Testing Solutions uses only certified Thermographers and state-of-the-art equipment to provide professional surveys in compliance with industry standards.

INFRARED ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS

INFRARED ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS

What Does It Inspect and How Does It Work?

An Infrared Electrical Inspection can be used to scan any electrical component, including wiring, connections, breakers, fuses, circuits, switches, disconnects, and more.

Malfunctioning or overloaded electrical equipment will give off more heat than normal due to increased electrical resistance. This heat can be detected and documented with the use of certified infrared imagers. Detecting electrical hot spots allows for repair or replacement of the affected equipment before failure occurs.

When you're running a business, having reliable equipment is essential for maximizing efficiency and keeping downtime and profit loss to a minimum. Routine maintenance and reactive fixes are helpful, but knowing when your equipment is going to break down and proactively fixing it can save you time and money. Below, we'll explain what an infrared electrical inspection is and the benefits of conducting one in your facility.

Risk Of Not Getting An Infrared Electrical Inspection

Neglecting to get your equipment inspected with IR can let faulty components to continue to break down and fail prematurely. Infrared electrical inspections are crucial for maintaining your company's uptime and minimizing costly repairs and outages.

What Is An Infrared Electrical Inspection?

An infrared (IR) electrical equipment inspection is an examination of any electrical components or machinery utilizing IR technology to detect inefficient operation or equipment failure.

Below are the five most significant benefits of an IR electrical inspection:

  1. Identifies Problems Early
    Excessive heat in your equipment is a clear sign that something isn't functioning correctly. IR scans can predict when and where equipment failure will occur, allowing you to repair accordingly.
  2. Reduces Downtime
    IR scans work while your equipment is running, which means you won't need to shut down your business for an inspection.
  3. Keeps Testers Safe
    These scans use infrared imagers to find inefficiencies, which means the technician and your employees remain completely safe throughout the process.
  4. Improves the Effectiveness of Routine Maintenance
    Routine maintenance is important, but problems detected by IR aren't always visible. An infrared inspection can help pinpoint the areas that would otherwise be missed during routine maintenance.
  5. Helps Prevent System Failure
    Regular IR inspections will help ensure your equipment remains up and running, so your business can maintain efficiency and avoid being caught off guard.
