Last week we briefly talked about why construction litigation is turning more and more to infrared thermal scans. Attorneys specializing in construction litigation often use Forensic Engineers.
A forensic engineer investigates materials, products, structures or components that fail or do not operate or function as intended, causing personal injury or damage to property. One of their main jobs of a forensic engineering investigation is to find the cause(s) of failure or to assist a court in determining the facts of an accident.
One common use of a forensic engineering study is to examine moisture infiltration on buildings that have a facade like brick, stucco, siding, or a stone veneer. While it might look good, improperly installed flashings or sealant joints can result in moisure getting past the facade and causing damage. Infrared thermography can detect (or verify) moisture infiltration, and it can also show moisture migration paths within the wall. This visual proof of issues can prove vital in winning a construction litigation case, and in providing estimates for repair.
Infrared Scanning - it's not just for roofs anymore!
