Thermography is a non-invasive method of detecting heat patterns and temperature changes using a thermal imaging camera. It helps uncover hidden issues behind walls, ceilings, switchboards and more - without damaging anything.

What is thermography?

What can a thermal scan detect?

A trained thermographer can detect:

  • Electrical faults and overheating circuits

  • Water leaks or moisture intrusion

  • Missing or damaged insulation

  • Roof or ceiling leaks

  • Air leaks or energy loss

  • Mould risk areas

  • Structural irregularities

Is thermography safe?

Absolutely! It’s 100% non-contact, radiation-free, and causes zero damage to your property. It’s often called “non-destructive testing” for that reason.

Can I use a budget thermal camera myself?

Anyone can buy or borrow a thermal camera, but without proper training and certification, it’s easy to misread results - or miss dangerous faults altogether. That’s why insurers and industry bodies require reports from qualified thermographers using calibrated, professional-grade cameras.

Why is certification important?

Only certified thermographers are trained to interpret the images correctly and generate reports that are accepted by insurance companies and industry regulators. Anyone can own a camera - but not everyone is trained to use it properly.

At IRT Solutions Pty Ltd we are certified to ISO 18436-7 and operate in accordance with ISO 18434-1 - the international standards that govern thermographic inspections. These certifications ensure that we follow strict protocols for equipment use, data interpretation and reporting. It means our scans are not only technically accurate but also recognised by insurers, regulators and industry professionals. When it comes to safety, liability and peace of mind - certification matters.
