Thermal Imaging Inspection in Agualva-Cacém

About our service in Agualva-Cacém

The argument always has two versions. The landlord says the flat is not ventilated and that washing is dried indoors; the tenant answers that the wall is cold and that the problem was there before they moved in. In practice both are usually true at once, and the thermal image shows it. An uninsulated external wall, or a thermal bridge alongside a column or a shutter box, reads clearly colder than the rest of the room — that is where water vapour condenses and that is where mould settles first. If there is also infiltration from outside or from pipework, the pattern is different and can be told apart. The visit is made in the morning or on a cold day, with the home closed up and heated in the hours beforehand, because without contrast with the street the reading is worthless. We ask for furniture standing against the suspect walls to be pulled away, since a covered wall gives no information. We work through the affected rooms and one reference room, measure the temperature of the problem surfaces and confirm with a contact moisture meter. The report separates what is the behaviour of the building, which belongs to the owner, from what is management of the indoor air, which belongs to whoever lives there, and suggests concrete measures on each side. The limits, stated plainly: the camera does not measure air humidity or certify fitness for occupation, and we issue no regulatory habitability opinions. It shows surface temperature differences, which are the physical basis of condensation, and nothing beyond that. It needs a thermal difference to work, so on a mild day there is no point booking. And if doubt remains about what sits inside the wall, the right answer is opening up at one point, not a hasty conclusion in a document that will be used to argue over responsibility.
