Thermal Imaging Inspection em Alhos Vedros

About our service in Alhos Vedros

The riverside sets the agenda in Alhos Vedros. Houses in the historic centre and along the zona ribeirinha sit close to the water table, and their ground-floor walls absorb moisture from below as a matter of physics. The practical question is never whether there is some damp, but whether what you are seeing is that background moisture, a failed gutter or roof junction letting rain in, or a plumbing leak adding water from inside. Each looks identical as a stain and costs very differently to fix. Our survey maps the moisture field with the camera, cross-checks it with contact readings, and states the mechanism in writing, which is exactly what you need before accepting any builder's quote. Heat loss is the second recurring theme. Traditional Alhos Vedros houses have thick walls with decent thermal mass but weak points wherever later work interrupted them: replacement windows fitted without insulation returns, extensions joined to old gables, attic spaces converted without continuous insulation. A whole-house infrared walk shows every one of these junctions in colour, so a modest improvement budget lands precisely. Owners often discover that fixing two junctions and one attic hatch achieves what they feared would require external insulation of the entire house. We complete each visit with the quiet checks that prevent loud problems: a scan of the electrical board, where circuits added over decades can hide a warm terminal, and a pass over floors and bathroom walls for the warm signature of a slow hot-water leak. For buyers drawn to Alhos Vedros by its riverside charm and sensible prices, including international families comparing it favourably with busier towns, we run the same protocol as a pre-purchase survey with a report in English or Portuguese: paired images, measurements, and a short prioritised list of findings, ready to share with a lawyer or builder before you sign anything.
