FACT SHEET
INFRARED
THERMOGRAPHIC
Abacus
Group offers you the diagnostic tools to see beyond the
obvious. Since most water intrusion in the exterior of a
building causes a differential in temperature, a
heat-detecting camera can accurately locate and identify
the areas causing the problem.
Abacus
Group’s state of the art Infrared System can
pinpoint temperature differences as little as 1/100 of a
degree Centigrade, constituting a valuable inspection
tool. Infrared imaging is a most effective means of
determining the condition of your structures, roofing,
and electrical systems. We have scanned millions of
square feet of flat roofs and masonry walls with
excellent results.
Conventional
visual inspection of roofs and masonry walls can
sometimes miss important information. The roof may appear
to be in good condition, but the insulation assembly may
in fact be wet, costing valuable heating and cooling
dollars. Infrared scanning detects the heat which is
emitted from wet roof insulation and saturated masonry.
Where
masonry walls are showing signs of distress and water is
entering the building, infrared scanning is the only
known method for locating masonry wall leaks without the
need for costly scaffolding or invasive techniques.
Electrical
rooms should also be scanned on a regular basis to
identify individual circuits which might be subject to
elevated loads, generating excessive heat gain, which may
result in a short or power outage.
BENEFITS
Provide
ongoing preventative maintenance program (reduce
costs)
Eliminate
costly guesswork - quantify affected areas
Evaluate
roof condition before manufacturer’s
warranty expires
Economical
costs for performing service
Abacus
Group’s reports include Abstract, Evaluation,
Diagrams or Illustrations, and Thermogram Photos which
provide all the background information necessary to
assist the building professional in the development of a
remedial course of action.
