The use of infrared thermography as a standard in the quality assurance and quality control of exterior cladding evaluations is becoming more common every year. Masonry is one of the most commonly used building materials in the building industry.

Infrared imaging allows us to evaluate the condition of the exterior cladding systems by mapping areas of moisture entrapment and delamination due to environmental stress. Exterior cladding surveys are extremely cost effective; we can perform thorough and accurate surveys on large properties in days, not weeks. And unlike sounding and other testing methods, surveys are all non-destructive.

An in-depth evaluation of the building envelope enables the architect and/or engineer to develop accurate repair specifications for contractor bidding. The quality of the initial field evaluation reflects directly on the quality and performance of repairs, as outlined in the specification documents.
