Thermal Inspections for Building Integrity

Infrared thermal imaging, also known as thermographic scanning, is an advanced diagnostic tool used to identify hidden building issues without invasive investigation. By detecting minute temperature differences, infrared technology reveals moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, electrical and mechanical failures, and other structural anomalies—long before they become visible or cause major damage.


Champion Environmental Consulting provides infrared inspection services and environmental testing solutions to assist property owners, facility managers, developers, and contractors in protecting assets, reducing environmental risk, and planning preventive maintenance more effectively.

What Is Required?

​​​

While infrared inspections are not always mandated by regulation, they are considered a best practice for property evaluations, mold investigations, post-restoration verifications, and energy efficiency audits

 

Building owners, managers, and project teams often rely on thermal imaging surveys to meet documentation requirements for insurance, environmental assessments, and building certifications. Infrared inspections are also a recommended part of comprehensive facility inspections and property condition assessments.

What We Do at Champion Environmental

Champion Environmental provides environmental consulting, building diagnostics, and infrared scanning services to detect hidden issues that are otherwise invisible to standard inspection methods.

 

Our team delivers professional infrared evaluations for:

​

  • Moisture intrusion inside walls, ceilings, and roofs

  • Energy loss from insulation gaps and building envelope breaches

  • Mechanical and electrical system inefficiencies, including HVAC ductwork and wiring issues
     

Our reports include thermal imagery, temperature differential analysis, and clear interpretation to support corrective action planning and compliance documentation.

What You Can Expect

When you engage Champion Environmental for infrared thermal imaging inspections, you can expect a structured, professional process. We begin with a pre-scan consultation to define your objectives and areas of concern. During fieldwork, we capture both standard and thermal images using advanced infrared cameras.


Following the scan, you will receive a detailed report outlining detected anomalies, accompanied by imagery and straightforward explanations. Our reports are formatted for technical review, risk assessment, and maintenance planning, offering clarity without unnecessary jargon.

What Is Infrared Imaging?

Infrared imaging uses specialized cameras to detect variations in thermal radiation emitted from building materials and systems. Every surface emits some level of heat, and differences in these emissions can highlight underlying problems, such as trapped moisture behind walls, missing insulation, or overheating mechanical components. Thermal imaging technology is a non-invasive, non-destructive method that allows for rapid evaluation of large areas without dismantling structures or disrupting operations. It provides essential insight for early intervention, building diagnostics, and preventive maintenance planning.

When Infrared Scans Are Needed

Infrared inspections are valuable in numerous scenarios. Common applications include:

​

  • Pre-purchase property inspections

  • Post-flood or water damage assessments

  • Roof integrity evaluations

  • Verification of mold remediation and water intrusion repairs

  • Preventive facility maintenance programs
     

Whether integrated into a facility’s ongoing maintenance plan or conducted in response to specific concerns, infrared scanning offers a cost-effective early warning system for building system deficiencies.

Understanding the Benefits

Early detection is one of the primary advantages of thermal imaging inspections. Identifying hidden problems before they escalate reduces repair costs, prevents operational disruptions, and extends the life of building systems.

​

Infrared inspections are also valuable for building owners, facility managers, and environmental consultants seeking to prioritize maintenance investments and document environmental due diligence.
