Infrared thermography is becoming a tool used to detect construction defects. After all, once a building is built, until something goes wrong, how can you "see" any potentially devastating construction problems? The next several series in this blog will discuss each of the following examples in detail. Be sure to bookmark me so you don't miss anything!
So, without further ado, here are 10 ways infrared imaging can detect construction problems in new buildings*:
1. Cold Roof Ventilation & Ice Damming
2. Roof Ice Melt Systems
3. In-Floor Radiant Heat Systems
4. Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, and Stucco damage
5. Stone Veneer moisture infiltration
6. Installation issues with Plaza Decks and Balconies resulting in water entry and leaking
7. Weather tight integrity and energy efficiency of commercial roof structures
8. Foundation Clearance from soil and concrete
9. Inadequate insulation and plumbing breaks
10. Moisture Intrusion through windows and walls
