Thermal inspections for Seattle & Puget Sound
Wet climate expertise for the Pacific Northwest
Seattle’s rainy climate creates unique challenges for building owners. Trapped moisture in roofs, walls, and insulation leads to mold, structural damage, and energy waste. Our thermal drone inspections detect these hidden problems before they become expensive repairs.
Service areas: Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Everett, and the greater Puget Sound region.
Seattle problems we solve
- Roof leaks & trapped moisture – Detect wet insulation and ponding water invisible to the eye
- Heat loss & drafts in façades – Find air infiltration points and insulation gaps
- Electrical hotspots – Identify overheating connections in substations and power rooms
- PV performance issues – Diagnose underperforming solar panels on commercial roofs
Services in Seattle
Roof & Building Envelope Thermography
Our wet-climate specialty. We detect moisture intrusion, saturated insulation, and membrane failures following ASTM C1153 (roof moisture surveys) and ASTM C1060 (building envelope thermography) standards. Seattle’s cool evenings provide excellent thermal contrast for accurate detection.
Substation & Electrical Infrared Surveys
Prevent outages and fires by identifying overheating electrical connections, imbalanced loads, and failing components. Our surveys align with NFPA 70B (electrical equipment maintenance) and NFPA 70E (electrical safety) standards.
High-Rise Façade Energy Audits
Seattle’s glass towers and mid-rise buildings lose energy through envelope defects. Our drone-based thermal surveys safely map heat loss and air infiltration per ISO 6781 standards—no scaffolding or swing stages required.
Solar PV Thermal Diagnostics
Commercial and campus rooftop PV systems need periodic thermal checks. We identify hot cells, string failures, and module anomalies affecting energy production and warranty compliance.
Who we work with in Seattle
- Utilities & public agencies – Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy, municipal facilities
- Property & facility managers – Commercial buildings, campuses, industrial sites
- Roofing & envelope contractors – Pre-tear-off surveys, warranty documentation
- GCs and commissioning teams – New construction thermal QA
How a Seattle thermal inspection works
- Schedule for optimal conditions – We plan flights during cool evenings or dry winter days when temperature differential (ΔT) is greatest
- Capture thermal data – FAA-certified pilots fly radiometric thermal cameras across your facility
- Analyze and classify – Certified thermographers identify moisture patterns, heat loss zones, and electrical anomalies
- Deliver actionable report – You receive thermal images, marked anomalies, severity gradings, and recommended actions
