| Damp should never be ignored. As well as
decorative and structural damage, it can cause a health hazard. Detecting the source
of the problem is often the hardest but most important step to reaching a solution. Horton Levi damp detection surveys include in-depth physical inspections, endoscope intrusive investigations and 8-13 micron infra-red scanning of walls and roofs. Applications include:
The circled area in the image below shows where moisture has seeped in beneath the window and soaked the insulation. This infra-red image is an example of how this wavelength provides a visualisation of heat energy conducting through moisture.
Using the infra-red information as a location guide, small bore holes can be drilled
through walls or panelling to allow an endoscopic probe to be inserted. A wide
angled view within a cavity can then visually confirm the situation, recording pictures
for subsequent printing and archiving. |
