He has presented at building industry conferences and published white papers on specialty applications for the use of infrared thermography.

About Infrared Inspection

Infrared inspection (or thermography) is a passive and cost-effective heat-sensing technique used to “see” and “measure” the thermal energy emitted by objects that cannot be detected by the human eye.

Thermography provides a means for viewing building systems under normal operating conditions to identify abnormally warm or cool areas that indicate moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies and other energy losses.

Utilizing only high-resolution FLIR SYSTEMS thermography equipment, the highest quality infrared equipment in the industry, and several camera systems designed for different uses, our highly trained team provides the most comprehensive non-destructive building investigations available today.

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.

Our services include:

After inspection, the BDG thermographer interprets the infrared data and provides clients with a comprehensive report. High-resolution digital images can be provided in a traditional PDF report format that outlines concerns found during the inspection and recommendations for proper repairs. They can also be uploaded to our cloud reporting platform to produce a large format stitched image or a 3D model that can easily be annotated, measured, and shared.

In summary, the only proven nondestructive method for identifying moisture and energy loss and pinpointing problems before they become visible and more expensive to repair is infrared thermography.

Infrared inspections by BDG have saved clients thousands of dollars by discovering deficient areas within their buildings, such as moisture within walls, insulation and other building material that indicate leaking pipes, condensation issues, and other problems.

Infrared building inspections in Houston, Texas, help detect structural integrity, moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies and energy losses.
