Introduction

• Water is one of the most common causes of
  property damage. If you live in a wet area or not
  you should always be aware that water causes
  problems. Property damage from water can occur
  from leakage, collapsed pipes, collapsed supply
  line under concrete slabs, blast pipes, clogged
  toilets, or a split line connected to your
  washing machine. Among a myriad of other causes,
  water can get in areas you may not be able to see
  with the naked eye. Thats why a scan is so
  important.

What Is Thermal Imaging

• Thermal imaging, thermal video, and infrared
  thermography are categorized as thermal imaging
  science. Thermographic cameras normally detect
  radioactivity in the long-infrared area of the
  electromagnetic spectrum designed to generate
  images with non-lethal radiation. Armed forces
  including The Army, Navy and Air Force use
  thermal imaging for many situations such as
  night operations, aerial intel, medical purposes
  and more.
• Thermal detectors within these devices capture
  the Infrared transmission generated by all types
  of objects and projected onto a screen visible
  for the user to identify information. Residential
  thermal imaging device can detect damaged
  sections of your home which is invisible to the
  naked eye. Have a look at our home page, theres
  plenty of examples of what we see and what you
  see.

Types Of Infrared Thermal Scan

• The thermal imaging sensor is one of the best
  domestic water leak detection equipment available
  on the commercial market today. Divided into two
  types - cooled thermal imaging and uncooled
  thermal imaging.
• Cooled thermal imaging transmits higher image
  quality and can even be viewed inside of a vacuum
  or sometimes within a sealed container that is
  cryogenically chilled.

• However, the quality of uncooled thermal imaging
  tends However, the quality of uncooled thermal
  imaging tends to be lower in quality. With being
  smaller in size, low cost to compose, and simpler
  to operate, these images contain lower resolution
  and much less information for the user to
  understand.
• Moreover, uncooled thermal images contain a
  sensor that mostly only performs at ambient
  temperature or room temperature.

How Does Thermal Imaging Work?

• Thermal imaging cameras transform the information
  of heat from objects from within the infrared
  spectrum into a visible light exposure for our
  eyes to see. Things above absolute zero
  temperature release thermal infrared energy,
  hence thermal cameras can passively detect all
  objects and often water damage despite there
  being a lack of ambient light.
• To focus the infrared (IR) radiation generated by
  something, a specific type of lens is used. The
  object is scanned by a phased array of IR
  detector factors. These factors present an
  expanded temperature guide which is indicated to
  us as a thermogram. This temperature data detect
  diverse points of information for us to decipher
  what is occurring behind your walls.
• The thermogram created by the detector is then
  converted into electrical impulses. The impulses
  are directed to a signal processing unit, which
  is a circuit card with a chip that translates the
  information into seeable display data. The signal
  processing unit sends the data to the display
  where it shows as various colors depending on the
  intensity of the infrared radiation. The sequence
  of all the electrical impulses creates the image.

Advantages Of Thermal Imaging Detection

• Infrared thermography inspection or thermal
  imaging has further advantages
• Thermal Imaging Sensors are able to capture
  moving targets in real time with video
• Thermal Imaging Sensors are able to detect
  deterioration
• It displays a visible picture so temperatures
  covering a vast area can be analyzed.
• Thermal Imaging Sensoring is a non-destructive
  inspection process. It can be used to find leaks,
  damage or holes in shafts, pipes, and other
  building material.
• This method can be used to measure or observe
  areas impassable or hazardous.
• It can be used to detect issues in areas with
  zero light.
