How Thermography Helps with Storm and Water Damage in Raleigh

SERVPRO trained technicians are ready for any size disaster that comes your way.

Using infrared cameras during restoration in your home

One of the most essential parts of storm and water damage restoration is assessing the level of water damage. It is impossible to do this by look and touch alone.

When our technicians arrive to remedy storm and water damage in Raleigh, they bring many kinds of equipment with them. One useful bit of kit is the infrared camera.  An infrared camera displays areas of heat and cold. When water evaporates from a surface, the surface cools. That means that dry areas show up warmer than wet ones when viewing through an infrared camera.

There are several advantages to using thermography to inspect your home after water damage:

• We can inspect a larger area in less time – this is especially helpful when dealing with extensive storm damage.
• We can examine challenging to reach areas such as high ceilings.
• Infrared cameras cause no damage as we do not need to penetrate the wall or ceiling's surface.
  
  

Thermography helps us build a clear picture of the water damage situation to decide on the next best steps.
