Estimating & Workflow
Infrared inspection
A way to inspect a property with a thermal camera that shows temperature differences beneath the surface. In restoration work, infrared cameras reveal wet spots in walls, under floors, or behind insulation without cutting into the structure. The inspection finds moisture that is not visible to the eye and supports both the drying plan and the estimate. It is a standard part of water damage documentation.
