Infrared Building Inspections - Monroe Infrared Technology has provided infrared building inspections nationally, for multi-unit projects, office complexes, property management companies, and high-rise condominiums, for over 19 years. Our infrared inspection process for commercial buildings can include diagnosing exterior walls for missing or settled insulation; determining the cause of energy loss and pin-pointing the location of poorly installed insulation in exterior walls and ceilings. We are also experienced in moisture detection caused by storm damage and water leaks.
While MITi's services are infrared-centered, our commercial building inspections are often enhanced with other non-destructive testing processes, such as blower-door testing. These other testing methods may be used independently, or may be applied to further confirm the infrared findings.

Our High Resolution Infrared Cameras and our highly trained inspectors will provide you with a video tape of your infrared home inspection. Our infrared images will display potential problems pertaining to insulation performance, air infiltration, air quality, moisture damage as well as the performance of your windows, doors, ventilation, etc.

| Common types of issues solved with an infrared building or home inspection: |
| WALL INSULATION |
| Our detailed images will display the construction framing of your home or building, and show how well the insulation has been installed: |
- Have all areas been insulated correctly?
|
- Are insulated areas performing properly?
|
- Has any of the insulation become wet - which in turn may contribute to air quality concerns and potential structural damage. Our infrared images will generally determine source of problem.
|
| CEILING INSULATION |
- Is there good thermal bonding to ceiling joist?
|
- Potential water damage from leaky roofs?
|
- Blow-back from sofit vents?
|
| WINDOWS |
- Has thermo pane lost its seal?
|
- Are there insulation voids around framing?
|
- Is there air leakage around rails, trim, sills?
|
| According to D.O.E. studies, air infiltration is a major contributor to energy costs in the home. In addition, air infiltration (drafts) are a discomfort to the occupants. Air infiltration points, i.e. cracks, spaces around baseboards, trim, switch plates, etc. may also be the main contributor to dust, pollen, and other airborne agents in the home. Our infrared images will visually display your air infiltration points. |
