Thermal imaging measures the surface temperature
of material. Walls, floors, tables, everything
with a surface. If you sit on a chair and then
stand up, you will leave a heat signature on the
chair.

Using a thermal imaging camera during a building
inspection allows the inspector to detect any
defects around the building. Most commonly these
are around areas of moisture.

Anyone can use a thermal imaging camera, but if
you want the best results, then you will need a
professional to recognize and give you the full
story. Inaccurate readings may be obtained from
reflected heat as well as different building
materials requiring different readings due to the
way they omit heat.
