#1 Thermal Imaging Inspection in Iowa

Thermal imaging utilizes specialized cameras to detect and visualize temperature variations through infrared radiation. This non-contact approach is crucial in identifying hidden moisture, heat leaks, and structural defects displayed in distinctive color patterns. Essential in water damage restoration and mold detection, thermal imaging aids in quickly pinpointing problem areas without invasive methods. It enhances the efficiency and accuracy of restoration efforts, particularly in post-disaster scenarios.  

Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared radiation emitted by objects, which varies with temperature. Sensors in the camera, like vanadium oxide or amorphous silicon, absorb this radiation and convert it into electrical signals. These signals are processed to create an image with different radiation levels represented by various colors or shades. Warmer objects appear in warmer colors, while cooler ones appear in cooler colors.  

At True North Restoration of Iowa, we pride ourselves on being the premier thermal imaging company in Iowa. Our dedication to accuracy and professionalism sets us apart, ensuring clarity and efficiency in resolving water, mold, and structural damages.

Does insurance cover thermal imaging?  

If thermal imaging is performed as part of post-damage assessments, such as determining the scope of water damage, it is more likely to be covered by insurance. Conversely, when thermal imaging is used for preventative maintenance or routine inspections, coverage is typically excluded. However, since insurance policies differ significantly, some may offer coverage for thermal imaging under specific circumstances. To gain clarity about your policy and whether it includes thermal imaging for water damage, it is crucial to consult directly with your insurance provider.
