A key to prevention of mold growth.
Infrared inspection is a fast, non-invasive method to discover moisture intrusion within the building envelope. Infrared inspection does not directly detect the presence of mold, rather it may be used to find moisture where mold may develop. The limitations to obtaining accurate infrared images pertain to the ability of the surface being scanned to emit heat energy. Gypsum (dry wall) in interior walls emits quite well, whereas highly reflective surfaces do not. Since the temperature difference between the wet and the dry wall are very slight, a sensitive infrared camera must be used.
MoistureView provides the IR-InSight® and FlexCam® “R2” portable infrared imagers specifically for this application. At the heart of the IR-InSight and FlexCam “R2” is an extremely sensitive microbolometer thermal sensor that can distinguish between temperate differences of less than 1/20 degree F.
