Thermal imaging captures infrared radiation emitted by objects, converting heat signatures into visual images. Temperature differences reveal hidden problems, including moisture trapped in roofs, heat escaping buildings, failing electrical components, and underperforming solar panels. All without any physical contact or damage.
Infrared Capture
Thermal sensors detect heat radiation invisible to the human eye and standard cameras.
Analysis
Certified thermographers interpret temperature patterns to identify anomalies and defects.
Reporting
Detailed reports with annotated thermal images, findings, and recommended actions.

Certified Thermography
Our thermal inspections are performed by a Level 2 Certified Thermographer, ensuring accurate interpretation of thermal data and professional reporting that meets industry standards.
Combined with drone technology, we capture comprehensive aerial thermal data of large roofs, solar farms, and building facades. These are areas that would be time-consuming or impossible to inspect from the ground.
Who Uses Thermal Imaging
Trusted by professionals who need to see the unseen.
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions are needed for thermal inspections?
Thermal imaging works best with a temperature differential between the target and its surroundings. For roof moisture surveys, we typically fly after sunset when the roof has absorbed heat during the day. Wet areas retain heat differently than dry areas. For building envelope scans, a minimum 10°C difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures produces the clearest results.
Can thermal imaging see through walls?
No, thermal cameras detect surface temperatures, not what's behind surfaces. However, temperature differences on the surface often reveal what's happening beneath. Moisture in a wall affects surface temperature, insulation gaps show as hot or cold spots, and hidden electrical issues create detectable heat signatures on the surface.
How is this different from a regular inspection?
Visual inspections only show what's visible. Thermal imaging reveals hidden problems before they become visible, including trapped moisture before it causes leaks, electrical issues before they cause fires, and insulation defects before they impact energy bills. It's non-destructive, meaning we find problems without cutting into roofs or walls.
What deliverables do I receive?
You receive a comprehensive report including annotated thermal images, corresponding visual (RGB) images for reference, identified anomalies with severity ratings, and recommended actions. For roof surveys, we can also provide CAD-ready drawings showing moisture locations for repair planning.
Why use a drone for thermal inspections?
Drones allow us to capture thermal data from optimal angles across large areas quickly and safely. A 100,000 sq ft roof can be surveyed in under an hour. This is work that would take days from the ground. Aerial positioning also eliminates the angle and distance limitations of ground-based thermal cameras.
