Water Damage and Thermal Imaging
1/18/2021 (Permalink)
When it comes to the latest tools of the trade, SERVPRO of Alexandria spares no expense equipping our team.
One of the best tools in our toolbox is the thermal imaging camera. Thermal imaging technology uses infrared radiation to measure heat differences. This creates a color picture of the area being evaluated.
The biggest value of using thermal imaging comes to us during a water loss situations. With a thermal imaging camera, we can literally look behind walls, ceilings, and floors to determine if the possibility of water is present.
When used in conjunction with a moisture meter, we can narrow down the cause of your problem. In the past, we would have needed to do exploratory demolition which is costly.
On a recent loss in a commercial building where the loss started on an upper floor, we were able to assess the wet areas quickly and accurately. The pictures illustrate the wet areas in dark colors and allow us to focus specifically on those areas.
Just know when you call SERVPRO of Alexandria, you are getting the best technology used in the industry. This equipment is in the hands of our talented and dedicated teammates and will help us make your situation “Like it never even happened.”
