Thermographic inspection of facilities

"KatrLess" Ltd. offers infrared (IR) photographic inspection of buildings, engineering structures, technological equipment for estimation of heat loss through the roof, facade and other parts of the building, insulation effectivenes testing of engineering systems (for example, heating and hot water pipelines). On the basis of obtained thermal images our experts offer a set of recommendations on how to eliminate or reduce heat loss at the facility, allowing you to save money on heating.

Thermal picture (IR photo) is a picture in far infrared range 7.5 - 14 micrometers invisible to the human eye. Such images allow to estimate the surface temperature of the object.

Thermal image reveals problem spots, including insulation defects, leaks, cracks,cold bridges, etc. Such spots have lower temperature inside the building and higher - outside.

1. Thermographic inspection of buildings and engineering systems

Thermophotography reveals defects in the insulation of buildings and engineering systems.

Chimney stacks: cracks, improper seams
On the left – brick chimney without defects, on the right – steel chimney.

Heat pipelines: insulation defects

2. Outer walls of buildings: insulation defects, cracks, crevices

Thermographic inspection of the building is useful, for example, before purchase to determine the quality of insulation, as well as when preparing facilities for the heating season. Timely detection and removal of heat losses helps to sufficiently reduce heating bills.

Jointing of roof and wall

Cold bridges

Under the upper window there is the "shadow" of the radiator, i.e. the place of the greatest heat loss through the wall.

Monolithic concrete belt and jumpers over the windows are heat loss ways, these places are in particular need of insulation.

3. Thermographic inspection inside the building: ceiling, ceiling-wall corner, windows, basement, loft

To eliminate heat losses it is important to identify not only external point of heat loss, but also those inside the building. It is best to conduct such a study before the internal decoration of the facility.

Uneven heating of the surface inside the building.

The right side of the radiator is clogged.

Thermophotography allows to check the efficiency of the heating system inside the house; also discovers places of overheating in power supply lines, etc.

Thermographic inspection provides the following advantages:

- obtaining reliable results comparatively quickly;
- no need to unmount equipment;
- while performing thermal control condition of the building or structure remains unchanged;
- thermographic inspection is absolutely safe.

Thermographic inspection reveals insulation defects and cracks in buildings under construction, which allows to resolve these problems timely and save time and money on the internal design of buildings.

According to the results of thermographic inspection and due to account customer request, our specialists prepare a report that contains images of the object problem areas and recommendations for minimisation of the identified defects.
