Michigan Thermal Imaging - Infrared Camera
Thermal Imaging is used in - Water Damage Restoration - Surveying
Thermal imaging infrared cameras have many uses across a wide spectrum of industries. Select Restoration Uses infrared thermography to address, assess and remediate water damage claims. One of the most effective ways to minimize claims and maximize the dry-down effectiveness is to provide our clients with a thorough documentation of the damage caused by a water loss. Infrared thermography can help us address water damage claims effectively and efficiently when coupled with the accurate use of moisture meters, digital photographs, diagramming and thorough note taking. A trained thermographer using infrared thermography to assist in documenting and assessing large water loss claims can be one of the most effective and efficient ways to mitigate water damage of commercial/residential buildings. The use of thermal imaging devices can save many hours of labor and help to allocate drying equipment more effectively, resulting in cost savings to our clients. Thermal imaging is also a very effective tool to diagram the dry down process or map the affected areas. When Water damage strikes make sure the company you choose, uses a thermal imaging camera to properly find and document the water damage to effectively present your water damage claim to the insurance company.
Michigan Thermal Imaging Infrared Cameras at Work
Michigan Thermal imaging is a non-destructive, cost-effective method for detecting water infiltration. Using an thermal imaging infrared camera, we can determine water penetration source and the condition of building materials, whether dry or damp. The ability to visually detect the damage from water infiltration is one of the most effective tools developed in many years to aid in the quick restoration and remedial measures of water damage. As an emergency company, when we arrive on a job, the experts at the insurance companies rely on what we can 'show' them. Thermal imaging is a 'state-of-the-art' solution. Insurance companies are now able to see what we see -- before and after images of the damaged area and the drying process. As an expert in the field of restorative drying since the early 90's, Select Restoration has seen the industry change in many ways, but thermal imaging is by far the most impressive evolution we are seeing in the Restoration field. Some historical data makes clear how important it is to identify water damage. In 2002, water damage claims accounted for 28% of all claims paid. In 2006 the percentage increased to 45%

Infrared inspection cameras
provided by Select Restoration are powerful tools for
quickly finding moisture in Residential as well as
commercial buildings, or for making sure all moisture
has been removed after drying operations.
Excess moisture creates small
temperature differences in the wet material and displays
the cooling effect of evaporating moisture, and thermal
capacitance (the ability of a material and substance to
retain and transfer thermal energy). Infrared detection
is an excellent way to locate suspicious areas, which
can then be checked with a moisture meter.
These images show a few of the
ways that thermal infrared cameras are being used during
moisture mapping surveys. After drying is complete,
comparing infrared images from before and after allows
the client to assess the drying progress. Drying the
structure properly will reduce the potential for costly
mold remediation claims.
