MOISTURE CONTROL

Moisture in a home can cause devastating damage. Bowles Construction's Water Division not only removes water, we detect the cause, and once fixed will repair the damages left behind. We accomplish this by using state of the art technology to ensure accurate detection, thereby saving time and $$ on the overall job cost.

See how moisture can damage your home in the mold remediation job below.

THERMAL IMAGING

WHAT IS THERMAL IMAGING?
Originally developed for night vision and other military uses, thermal imaging technology has recently become available to professionals in other fields, opening doors to new problem solving tactics.

Every object radiates infrared light in proportion to its temperature.

Hot objects radiate more infrared light than cold objects, but humans can not see in these wavelengths.

HOW CAN WE UTILIZE THIS TECHNOLOGY?
This technology is used in the restoration industry to measure moisture efficiently. We can quickly establish the source of a water leak, or establish if a structure is completly dry.

Instead of the numerous probes required by a traditional moisture meter, we can see damaged area at a glance. What used to take hours now takes mere seconds, with exact results.

HOW DOES THIS SAVE $$$
Traditional visual inspections require removing drywall or exterior finish, then visually checking for damage. The infrared camera is non-intrusive and requires no demolition.

This technology saves the technician time and effort necessary to inspect a structure thoroughly.

This camera shows exactly where repairs, fans, and demolition are needed.

Thermal Imaging Examples
Outside dryer vent leak detected with infrared camera. No holes were needed for traditional probe or siding removed, saving time and money.
Metal roof leak. Water is shown pooling on roof revealing source of leak.
Bedroom ceiling leak from above. Very little physical damage seen by the naked eye.
