quickly evaluate, test, estimate, contain, and remediate mold, mildew, and fungus that may appear in your home, office or commercial building. Rapid Recovery Service has state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras that will instantly show you what is wet and what is dry with little or no physical disassembly of the premises. This allows for a fast, reliable, more accurate building diagnosis and remediation plan. Specialty Services
Thermography is the use of an infrared imaging and measurement camera to "see" and "measure" thermal energy emitted from an object. Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be detected by the human eye; it's the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Unlike visible light, in the infrared world, everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat. Even very cold objects, like ice cubes, emit infrared. The higher the object's temperature, the greater the IR radiation emitted. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes cannot. Infrared thermography cameras produce images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise non-contact temperature measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets hot before it fails, making infrared cameras extremely cost-effective, valuable diagnostic tools in many diverse applications. And as industry strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies, manage energy, improve product quality, and enhance worker safety, new applications for infrared cameras continually emerge.
Detect Building Moisture Issues
Rapid Recovery Service technicians can now accurately locate building moisture issues and track it to the source. This technology allows us to inspect places that can't physically be reached with moisture meters. Once repaired, Rapid technicians can efficiently and effectively monitor the drying process and confirm when moisture is gone.
Document Restoration Conditions
Now, Rapid Recovery Service can track and easily record current or post-repair restoration conditions -- documenting cause and origin data and images. Infrared thermography gives Rapid Recovery Service a definite advantage over our competition. Expensive, destructive probes are no longer needed.
Pinpoint Problem Areas
Infrared Technology enables Rapid Recovery to locate problem areas with extreme accuracy, taking the guesswork out of trying to find issues hidden within walls, and ceilings/roofs - saving time and money over traditional visual inspection methods.
Check Energy Efficiency
Rapid technicians can now locate and address heating and cooling losses in residential, commercial and industrial buildings with pinpoint accuracy, enabling not only repairs and adjustments to be made, but accurately verify the work after the fact.
Quickly Locate Areas of Cost SavingsMany commercial and industrial organizations can easily locate and address ways to save money on energy costs through infrared analysis as shown in the image above.
Verify Proper Systems OperationRapid can now make Infrared inspections that may be used to inspect and verify heating and cooling systems -- for example, to ensure the proper operation of radiant heating pipes located in the flooring to check for crimps in tubing and post-installation validation concerns.
Commercial / Residential Inspection
Rapid Recovery Service Can Locate Electrical Problems
Issues with electrical connections, wiring or other system components are clearly highlighted as "hot spots" with infrared imagery -- Rapid Recovery Service can easily locate and repair any issues quickly and effectively.
Quickly Diagnose Building Conditions
Buildings may be quickly and thoroughly scanned via infrared, identifying problem areas that can't be seen by the naked eye -- ensuring the integrity of both structural and environmental systems for building inspection, repair verification and insurance purposes.
Infrared saves you money-- Easy Noninvasive/Non-destructive Testing
Infrared imagery facilitates repairs quickly, easily and safely as infrared minimizes the need for building disassembly -- for minimal repair time, labor costs and disturbance of the occupants, as well as verification of a job well done. Missing insulation is clearly detected in the photograph above.
Detect Plumbing Issues
Rapid Recovery Service's infrared technicians can easily detect blockages in pipes, which may be quickly located and addressed -- enabling immediate response if required. The use of this non-destructive technology provides for proactive action to be taken, before the problem worsens and remains a disaster waiting to happen.
Termite Nest Discovery
Infrared cameras in building inspections can even be used for rodent and pest discovery, as their lairs emit heat greater than the surrounding area -- a great method to identify yet another hidden problem area when looking to purchase, lease or restore a building.
Locate HVAC Problem Areas
Rapid can fine loose, ill-fitting or disconnected heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system fittings, which can lead to moisture issues and poor building airflow, as well as wasted energy and money!
