Benefits of Infrared Inspections

Infrared inspections detect temperature variations in a building envelope, providing quick and accurate detection of moisture leaks, energy loss and electrical malfunctions in walls, under floors and in other hidden places. Inspections can reveal small defects before they escalate into major crises.

Unlike many commercial building inspection techniques, infrared imaging is completely non-invasive, which means there is no risk of damaging any aspect of the property and minimal disruption.

Infrared inspections provide advance warning of potential problems and system failures. They also help:

  • Improve energy efficiency
  • Reduce safety incidents caused by unexpected system failures
  • Prevent lost production time
  • Reduce facility and operational maintenance costs
  • Lower insurance rates
  • Enhance predictive maintenance of electrical, mechanical and structural systems

Infrared inspections are ideal during due diligence of commercial or multi-family property acquisitions and can be invaluable to architects, property developers, insurance companies and others. Many property owners contract us to perform annual inspections to proactively protect their investments.

BDG has performed services on 300+ multi-family and commercial properties and inspected in excess of over 50 million square feet. Our services have identified significant hidden building defects that have cost from $2 to $5 million dollars in underlying structural repairs.
