Using infrared thermography is an effective way for claim adjusters to non-destructively evaluate buildings, especially in water-loss cases. To find out how much the technology has caught on, when it is best applied, and where the technology is headed, Associate Editor Eric Gilkey contacted Tony Colantonio, a building enclosures advisor to the Public Works and Government Services in Canada who has written extensively on infrared thermography.
Has thermography gone mainstream yet?
Thermography is gaining in popularity within the building industry for quality control inspections for architectural and structural systems in both residential and commercial projects. Hidden moisture, voids, and air-leakage detection along with structural reinforcing and biological attack/pest verification have made this technology useful to builders and restoration companies in all parts of the continent.
