Why Around the House uses Infrared Scanning and Thermal Imaging.

      Moisture in building materials can destroy structural integrity and nurture mold. The first step in moisture problem remediation is to quickly and accurately locate and remove all sources of moisture. FLIR infrared cameras instantly show you what's wet and what's dry. IR cameras can instantly find the ultimate source with little or no physical disassembly of the premises and minimal disturbance of inhabitants. FLIR infrared cameras are the inspection assets preferred by building experts for fast, reliable, accurate building diagnosis in the entire range of building problems, from post-catastrophe fire and flood investigations to chronic leaks and moisture problems.

      FLIR ThermaCAM infrared cameras are lightweight and rugged for use in the field. They instantly capture and record high-resolution thermographic images on-board for subsequent downloading to a PC. They can also output full-motion infrared video records in real-time to a video recorder. Interchangeable lenses can accommodate all of the situations you will encounter. 

       Many insurance companies, restoration firms, and building owners require thermographers to have certification in infrared building science.  The testing associated with these certified companies is often to expensive.  Around the House offers the exterior scan for only $295.
