ServiceMaster Professionals Employs New Thermal Camera to Detect Home
Problem Areas
ServiceMaster Professionals of Hemet are employing high-tech, noninvasive
cameras to detect problem areas in a home. The latest weapon in the battle
against inefficient energy use and mold is the Flir ThermaCam. Using a
thermal camera able to “see” temperatures throughout a structure
allows this company the ability to look into walls and under floors.
This thermal imaging unit provides a noninvasive means of monitoring
and diagnosing the conditions of buildings. Like magic, the professional
thermographer can view the temperatures of different components of a home,
even through walls and floors.
“What you want to see is a very even color spread on the thermal
readout,” said Ed Krick, Operations Manager of ServiceMaster Professionals.
“Sharp color variances mean drastic temperature changes.”
Color variances can indicate pipe blockages, air and water leaks, poor
ducting conditions and energy inefficient areas of a home or office building.
The Flir ThermaCam can also see the hot and cold water plumbing running
throughout a home. Even a small leak can be detected by the pooling of
water, or abnormal flow of its temperature color spreading through insulation.
Mold spores are also detected using this new technique. As all living
things generate heat, mold spores and colonies will show up on the camera
as glowing red spots. “This is a great way for families to perform
preventative maintenance on their home,” said Krick. ServiceMaster
Professionals expects the market to boom for this type of service. “We
expected that homebuyers will call to have their prospective home imaged
and analyzed for potential problem areas.”
“A plumber walking into a leak repair might have to cut out multiple
feet of drywall when searching for the actual leak. With this technology,
we can pinpoint the problem, mark the area and save our customers money
and the aggravation of having their property unnecessarily demolished.”
ServiceMaster Professionals is now using the Flir ThermaCam technology
in its day-to-day services, including carpet cleaning, mold remediation
and disaster recovery.
