THERMAL

Seattle & Puget Sound

Thermal Inspection
Certainty

Wet climate expertise for the Pacific Northwest. Detect roof leaks, trapped moisture, and heat loss in Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellevue. Fix hidden problems before they become expensive repairs.

Seattle Workflow

How it works in the PNW

1

Schedule

We plan flights for cool evenings or dry winter days for optimal thermal contrast (ΔT).

2

Capture

FAA-certified pilots fly radiometric thermal cameras across your facility.

3

Analyze

Identify moisture patterns, heat loss zones, and electrical anomalies.

Our Expertise

Seattle Problems We Solve

  • Roof Leaks & Trapped Moisture

    Detect wet insulation and ponding water invisible to the eye. Essential for flat roofs in our rainy climate.

  • Heat Loss & Drafts

    Find air infiltration points and insulation gaps in façades to improve energy efficiency.

  • Electrical Hotspots

    Identify overheating connections in substations and power rooms before failure.

Who We Work With

Utilities & Public Agencies: Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy.
Property Managers: Commercial buildings, campuses, industrial sites.
Contractors: Pre-tear-off surveys and warranty documentation.

Services in Seattle

Wet Climate Specialization

Roof & Building Envelope Thermography

Our wet-climate specialty. We detect moisture intrusion, saturated insulation, and membrane failures following ASTM C1153 and ASTM C1060 standards.

Seattle’s cool evenings provide excellent thermal contrast for accurate detection.

Substation & Electrical Infrared Surveys

Prevent outages and fires. Our surveys align with NFPA 70B and NFPA 70E standards.

High-Rise Façade Energy Audits

Seattle’s glass towers lose energy through envelope defects. Our drone surveys safely map heat loss per ISO 6781 standards—no scaffolding required.

Our Capabilities

Industrial Applications

Roof & Envelope

Non-destructive moisture detection. Identify trapped water in flat roofs before it causes structural damage. ASTM C1153 compliant.

Solar PV

Rapid scanning of utility-scale and commercial arrays. Detect sub-module defects, string outages, and warranty issues.

Electrical

Substation and transmission line inspections. Identify overheating components safely from a distance. NFPA 70B aligned.

Common Questions

How much does an inspection cost?
Pricing depends on facility size and complexity. Residential scans typically start at a few hundred dollars, while large commercial projects are quoted based on square footage or MW capacity. Contact us for a free same-day quote.
What equipment do you use?
We fly enterprise-grade DJI Matrice drones equipped with high-resolution radiometric thermal sensors (Zenmuse H20T/H20N series), ensuring accurate temperature data and high-res visual overlays.
Do I need to shut down operations?
No. Drone inspections are non-intrusive. Solar fields usually need to be under load (active) for defects to appear, and building envelopes are best scanned early morning or late evening depending on thermal load.
