Thermal Imaging Camera at work

When our technicians scope a job, they use state of the art technology to detect moisture found in wet materials like walls, ceilings, floors, etc. At SERVPRO of Henry and Spalding Counties, and SERVPRO of Clayton County, we use Thermal Imaging Cameras (Infrared cameras) to find hidden wet spots that would have gone undetected otherwise.

Thermal cameras detect temperature by recognizing and capturing different levels of infrared light. This light is invisible to the naked eye. All objects emit infrared radiation, and it’s one of the ways that heat is transferred. The hotter an object is, the more infrared radiation it produces. Thermal cameras can see this radiation and convert it to an image that can be seen on a screen.

With the help of the Thermal Imaging Cameras, our crews have been able to find roof leaks, leaky pipes behind walls, and condensation problems. The use of these cameras also benefits the homeowner since it minimizes unnecessary demolition of walls, floors, etc.  

If you think you have water damage in your home, please call SERVPRO of Henry and Spalding Counties, and SERVPRO of Clayton County today at 678-432-3003.
