Because of the severity of the commonly-discovered hidden issues, it is not uncommon for a client to benefit from regular infrared inspections at a 4-to-1 benefit ratio.

Detection Beyond the Human Eye

Add-On Services

Thermal imaging cameras are sensitive to temperature differences, making them useful for detecting moisture leaks and electrical and mechanical hot spots. The inspection includes a visual inspection and thermal scans of the walls, ceilings, and floors for hidden moisture and scans of electrical panels, HVAC systems, and equipment to detect overheating before failure occurs.

Utilizing drones with high-resolution thermal imagers and zoom capable visible cameras have proven to be an invaluable resource for helping to inspect and document exterior envelope and window conditions on commercial buildings. RW West inspectors are able to identify moisture and heat loss sources, loose, missing, or damaged façade elements, cracks, leaks, and much more, ultimately saving clients unnecessary time and money renting lifts, scaffolding, or swing stages.

RW Wests infrared inspections for commercial roofs are a time-saving and non-destructive diagnostic method that can accurately and efficiently find hidden moisture and damage.

I’ve worked with Ron on several different projects from multi-family housing to commercial properties. He is an absolute professional in his work, and provides an in depth and comprehensive analysis each time.  He has found issues that other inspectors would have easily missed, include some subtle issues that could have costed hundreds of thousands of dollars to remediate. I’d work with him on future properties and highly recommend his work.
