Inspeca decided in the conception of their company very early that we would offer something that no other inspection company had to offer for the consumer that supports the inspection industry. Inspeca offers not one (1) but four (4) major types of inspections not found anywhere else today. The inspections we all are aware of is the "Home Inspection" by a Certified Inspector is what you will find with every inspection company today. Inspeca offer's "Certified Inspections", "Certified Engineered Inspections", "Certified Environmental Inspections", "Certified Thermal Imaging Inspections", for home, office or any commercial application.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 FAQ

Inspeca offers you the customer the best in "Thermal Imaging Inspections" offered by no one else in the field of home inspections. With this service you are able to get a clear image of what is hidden beneath every surface not viewed because of it was either dry-walled over or finished paneling. The thermal imagery has amazing capabilities and can "see" through certain materials.

1). Energy audits
2). Mold and insulation surveys
3). Electrical and mechanical analysis
4). Roofing and building envelopes
5). Research and development

Some reasons to ask for this service are the following:

  • Heat loss around windows, doors, skylights, electrical outlets.
  • Moisture infiltration behind walls or ceilings. Moisture damage like this can lead to mold conditions if not detected in time and properly fixed.
  • Lack of or no insulation in walls or ceilings.
  • To recognize hot or cold spots on the exterior or interior of any buildings.
  • Energy audit infrared inspection
  • Many roofs need to be replaced prematurely due to moisture damage from leaks and improper installation. Infrared thermography has a proven track record in finding damaged portions of roofing structure so they can be repaired before water damage rots your whole roof. Thermography is a non-contact testing method, don't let anyone drill holes in your roof to test for damage.

General Industrial
Electronic Applications
Thermal imaging of integrated circuitry and microelectronics provides a detailed and comprehensive mapping of the temperature field showing the current and voltage borne by the components.

 

 


Process Applications
Thermal imaging is an efficient means of monitoring flow in process applications. Early detection of leaks or equipment corrosion can prevent gas leaks, fire and even explosions. Many process application inspections are conducted in hostile environments, where the target and ambient temperatures are high. Thermal Imaging can be used at a distance so problems can be detected in even the most adverse situations.

Building Applications
It can be difficult to diagnose and solve building problems such as heat preservation, humidity/moisture invasion, roof moisture damage, poor air conditioning system performance, structural damage and mold detection. Thermal Imaging is a valuable tool for these applications, enabling the building owner, architect and contractor to verify the building's performance, find potential problems and seek effective solutions.

Transportation Applications
Thermal imaging is used in the transportation industry for the diagnosis of engine problems, brake systems, air conditioning systems, sealing, defrosting window wires and exhaust systems.

 

 


Predictive/Preventive Maintenance
General Predictive/Preventive Maintenance Applications

Thermal imaging can be used for troubleshooting, preventive maintenance and predictive maintenance of the many electrical and mechanical devices used in buildings and factories such as switches, outlets, connectors, fuses and motors.

The benefits of Thermal Imaging are:

inspections are fast and easy
there is no need to shut off equipment during the inspection (in fact, the equipment must be running in order to "see" any thermal signatures of potential problems
inspections are safe, given the non-contact nature of infrared

Electric Power Applications
Thermography has been used in the power industry for many years to safely detect defects in electrical equipment. Electrical energy generates heat as it moves through materials. The higher the resistance of a material (or a connection), the more heat that is generated by the electrical energy. This simple concept explains why thermal imaging plays such a critical role in finding and treating equipment failures and also improving the safety of electrical workers.

Petrochemical Applications
In petrochemical plants there are many pipes carrying steam, hot water and various industrial chemical solutions. These pipes can become damaged, corroded or worn. The Ti30 enables the user to identify hot spots, monitor energy waste and ensure correct temperatures. It can also help the user find leaks that may not be visible to the human eye.

Tank and Vessel Applications
Thermal imaging plays a very crucial and effective role in finding possible failure points in vessels and containers, often preventing serious accidents from occurring. Equipment defects or load shifting can quickly and easily be detected with the Thermal Imaging.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Building Diagnostics Applications
The primary diagnostic procedure for determining the thermal performance of a building envelope is infrared thermography. It can be used to identify heating and cooling loss due to poor construction, missing or inadequate insulation and moisture intrusion. Correcting the defects plays a significant role in increasing building efficiency and structural integrity. Thermography can identify surface temperature variations of the building envelope, which relates to problems in the structure, thermal bridging, moisture content and air leakage.

Common building diagnostics applications are:

Roofing surveys
Energy audits
Moisture/restoration
Mold remediation
Building energy
Home inspection

Two primary mechanisms for heat loss in buildings are conduction through the walls and air leakage. Both can be identified from the surface of the building with infrared thermography. Early correction of the faults identified can be made before extensive damage occurs.
