Thermal Imaging & Thermography
Specialist thermal imaging for buildings, industrial assets and electrical infrastructure, using the drone-mounted H30T and professional FLIR handheld cameras, interpreted by Infrared Training Center certified thermographers.
Aerial & Site Services
A thermal camera doesn't see water, mould or damage directly. It sees temperature differences. Knowing what those differences mean depends on the time of day, the direction of heat flow and the building's construction. That's where certified interpretation matters. Every finding that matters is verified with a calibrated moisture meter before conclusions are drawn.
Interior and exterior scans of walls, ceilings and junctions to find moisture ingress, missing insulation and air infiltration.
Post-sunset aerial surveys when saturated insulation holds heat and shows up as distinct warm patches across the membrane.
Heat signatures that point to overloaded circuits, failing connections and friction wear, caught before they become failures.
How it works
Thermal needs a temperature difference of about 10 °C. We schedule for the right season and time of day for your survey.
Aerial H30T and/or handheld FLIR capture, with paired visual images for context.
Anomalies are checked with calibrated moisture meters, because a cold spot is not always a leak.
Annotated thermograms, plain-language explanations and prioritised recommendations.

FAQ
You need a temperature difference of at least 10 °C between inside and outside. In New Zealand that's most reliable in winter, or early morning and evening in the shoulder seasons. Flat roofs are surveyed just after sunset.
It identifies temperature patterns consistent with moisture. Confirmation requires a moisture meter, which we always use.
Keep the building heated overnight and pull back curtains and blinds the night before, so wall corners and window reveals show accurate readings.
