Simplifying the Mold Inspection
One of the most up to date technologies in the mold assessor’s tool kit is the thermal imager. A thermal imager detects and graphically displays variances in temperature based on the emitted infrared energy of substances.
The human eye cannot see through walls, but thermal-imaging cameras can. Thermal imagers do not detect mold directly but enable Bye Bye Mold™ mold-inspection professionals to see immediate, non-invasive, high-resolution evidence of potential moisture intrusion. Because wet materials typically emit a different amount of infrared energy than dry materials, areas where there is moisture intrusion (or a water leak) display a recognizable pattern and distinguishable ranges of temperatures.
That is good news because it makes it possible for Bye Bye Mold™ mold assessors to detect hidden problem areas in your structure. The temperature measurement capabilities of thermal imaging are most effective shortly after a leak occurs, which is the optimum time to locate and pinpoint sources of water intrusion.
Bye Bye Mold™ mold inspectors also utilize a moisture meter, along with the thermal imager, to verify the findings.
