Thermal Imaging Inspection in Oeiras

About our service in Oeiras

What usually gets put to a developer is a description: the living room is cold, there is an odd smell in the hall, that corner grows mould every winter. A description can be argued with; a dated thermal image, with a photograph of the same framing beside it, far less so. The camera shows insulation that is missing or badly laid, appearing as irregular cold patches on a wall that ought to read evenly; shutter boxes that were never properly sealed; balcony slabs with no thermal break; and air leakage at terrace doors and sliding units. All of that is faulty execution rather than wear, and that is what a warranty exists for. The visit covers the whole home, with the flat closed up and brought to temperature beforehand so that there is contrast with the outside. We go through every room, compare walls of the same orientation against each other, and record each anomaly with thermogram, photograph and precise location. Where water is suspected, we confirm with a contact moisture meter. In the recent developments of Lagoas Park, the Taguspark and Santo Amaro de Oeiras we also cover communal parts, because water getting into a stairwell or a garage is a matter for the management rather than for one flat. The report comes out organised finding by finding, with priorities, written to be read by whoever decides. Two honest notes. The first is about conditions: with no temperature difference between inside and outside, thermography shows little, so we choose the season and the hour and, if need be, ask you to heat the home beforehand. The second is about reach: the image shows the effect of the defect at the surface, not the defect itself, so the real thickness of insulation or the state of a pipe are only confirmed by opening up. We are not court-appointed experts and we issue no certification: we hand over a technical survey with visual evidence, which is what supports a serious claim.
