When this is useful

You need measured evidence before choosing corrective work.
The building stage makes access, sequencing, or verification important.
Comfort, leakage, or envelope questions need more than a visual opinion.

What you receive

Findings tied to the building stage and test conditions.
Priority items that separate urgent corrections from optional follow-up.
Clear notes on what to verify next, if verification is needed.

What your airtightness number actually means

Airtightness is more than a score. Here’s how to interpret it and how to use it to make real improvements.

Thermography is most useful when it is tied to a specific question and interpreted with pressure, temperature, access, and building context. It records surface-temperature patterns; pressure assistance can make some air-leakage pathways easier to distinguish when conditions support the method.

The goal is a focused investigation that helps choose a correction or verification step, not a collection of unexplained images.

Good fit when

you need to locate leakage pathways
the building has comfort complaints
you suspect envelope discontinuities
you want to confirm what is happening before repairs

What the scope can include

intake review of the complaint, location, timing, and prior work
pressure-assisted thermal investigation where conditions and access allow
observations tied to rooms, assemblies, or transitions
photo-referenced findings with confidence and limitations stated
priorities for targeted correction or further investigation

What we provide

observations tied to site conditions
notes on temperature, pressure, and access context
findings that can guide corrective work
a clear distinction between observed patterns and possible explanations

What to prepare

Share the building type, complaint locations, when the issue occurs, current construction stage, recent repairs, previous reports or photos, access limits, and any areas that must remain undisturbed. Suitable indoor and outdoor conditions may affect timing.

Boundaries

Thermography cannot see through finished assemblies, prove that insulation is complete everywhere, identify every cause in one pass, or replace access-based verification when that is required. Weather, solar exposure, materials, indoor conditions, and equipment can create patterns that need context.

Next step

Request a quote with the specific comfort, leakage, or envelope question. We will confirm whether stressed thermography fits, what conditions are needed, and whether airtightness testing or another review should be combined with it.
