During a thermal inspection, infrared inspectors rely on thermal imaging cameras to identify potential hazards. These hazards could be anything from electrical issues to moisture leaks. Inspectors must take the time to explain the potential dangers to their clients and ensure they understand the importance of safety.

    Thermography measures surface temperatures by using infrared video and still cameras. These tools see light that is in the heat spectrum. Images on the video or film record the temperature variations of the building's skin, ranging from white for warm regions to black for cooler areas.
