Moisture and Mould Inspection Using Infrared Camera
John Herbert
Director
Tropical Hong Kong has high humidity and rainfall during the summer,
and both can cause damage to the building fabric and mould.
Infrared inspection is one tool for inspecting buildings to identify
moisture, damp, and mould problems in Asia, ideally it should be part
of your Planned Preventative Maintenance plan.
How does infrared work?
All objects have a surface temperature and features with a void
or water for example a damp wall, will have slightly different
temperature, but temperature is not visible to the naked
eye, infrared camera shows us the temperature image to detect
problems.
Where delamination occurs often cause by water, creates
hidden void beneath the surface, that creates a slightly
different temperature profile, and although invisible to us, it
is revealed with our infrared camera.
Kelcroft's infrared imaging is fast, accurate to 0.01 degC,
non-destructive test (NDT) method that pin points problems
during the inspection.
It's a line of sight test, therefore any obstacles may
prevent or limit the inspection.
Reporting
After the inspection, a written report is provided detailing
findings and recommendations.
