Thermal Cameras

Thermal cameras are a widely used piece of equipment that is used to pick out places in an environment that contains moisture hidden from the eye. In our job to repair water damaged homes in areas around Las Vegas, Henderson and North Las Vegas, we use thermal cameras to determine whether there is any water damage to the property,

A commercial-grade piece of equipment, such as the one we use in our business, helps identify hidden sources of moisture inside the walls – locations that would not have been visible to the naked eye but would have created long-lasting problems inside the house. For it’s outstanding performance and The Flir Thermal Camera is the equipment that we chose for this vital responsibility.

Usage

Flir thermal cameras makes it easier for us to determine the source and location of harm inside a house that can be caused by:

Usage Story  

A call we received from a residential house in the Henderson area had us rushed to the scene, only to discover a serious water leakage inside, caused by a major pipe burst. We cleaned up the damage done to the floors and the walls in a very short time. However, after concluding the job – for a final evaluation, we used our Flir Thermal Camera to look for hidden moisture inside the walls. We were surprised to discover a large part of it indicating a moisture build-up – something which was completely invisible to the naked eye, but would have created a much bigger problem in the near future.

That is we were able to declare the house completely safe and taken care of – after we have finished drying out the moisture that had built up inside the walls. Had we not used a thermal camera as effective as powerful as the Flir model that we use, it is possible that we would have missed this vital piece of water damage to the house.

Water leaks in Las Vegas are quite common, so in order to ensure proper cleanup we use thermal cameras. The available ranges of thermal cameras from Flir makes our work of water damage cleanup easier, and helps us to completely secure a house from all signs of damage caused by water.
