Benefits Of Thermal Imaging Detection
By: mal brewer
All objects emit infrared radiation which is proportional to the temperature of the object. The thermal imaging process detects temperature differences between objects if there is no temperature difference or the difference is outside the range of the detection device the process cannot differentiate between objects. On viewing part of a structure the outlines of the viewed areas represent what is expected for that structure (e.g. the wall framing behind gyp rock). The device may identify temperature irregularities within its operating range in the structure. Such irregularities may represent dampness, water leaks, piping, insulation, cabling or foreign materials such as termite mudding or heat from appliances.(read

Wood Decay Attracts Termites

Think of termites as highly organised, wood eating cockroaches if you like (its more accurate than the misnomer 'white-ants'). Many fence post failures are as much a result of wood decay fungus as they are from termite damage. Keeping fence posts free of the ground my mounting them on a metal stirrup is a very sensible idea.(read
