MOISTURE DETECTION

Detecting water leaks behind Stucco & EIFS wall systems is one of the best applications for thermal imaging... it not only shows the extent of the moisture, it can show the source of the moisture.  And, with the aid of Altheus Infrared's non-destructive moisture meter, can be verified on the spot.

Process Control.  The paper industry benefit's from thermal imaging... too much moisture in the sheet or on a felt produces these dark streaks in the sheet.  Streaks in the sheet produces corrugations, which means wasted product.  Regular infrared surveys of the web will alert paper makers to moisture conditions that may have otherwise gone un-noticed.

Water damage inside a building means more than just wet carpet!  Drywall wicks water up into the wall as shown in this infrared photo.  A water leak in the bathroom saturated the bottom of the wall and may have led to mold and mildew growth if left untouched.  Thermal imaging shows the extent of the damage with unprecidented accuracy.
