Thermography, air infiltration and water infiltration
The detection of air leaks and infiltrations today passes through the high technology of infrared thermographic cameras. Elite Cauldration (Montreal and Laval) has developed an expertise in thermography inspection, realizing that while our specialty, caulking, solves the problems of air leakage and water infiltration from windows, it was not the same for all parts of the house.Air leak detection and water infiltration
The Thermal camera detects the infrared radiation that characterizes the heat. The images produced are excellent, they highlight the cold – temperate – hot areas indicating with a hitherto unequalled precision, the areas of potential air and water infiltration.
The power of the analysis software accompanying the thermographic camera is such that we can indicate the exact temperature of each color returned.

Thermographic inspection
Caulking Elite, your North Shore caulking company , recognizes the expertise of thermography inspection. Realizing that while our profession, caulking, solved the problems of air leaks and water infiltration from the windows, it was not the same for all parts of the house. Roof, flashing, chimneys, plumbing ducts, air ducts, basements, micro-cracks in the wall, electrical system.
Air leaks, but also water leaks and runoff are identified.
Indeed, thermography applications for the analysis of building structures concern as much :
- Humidity,
- Mold,
- Insulation voids,
- Air infiltration,
- Structural problems,
- Insect pests,
- And sanitation.
The thermographic inspection is performed by an ITC-certified inspector who produces a detailed thermographic assessment and a list of suggestions for correcting detected air infiltration.
ITC-certified thermograph.
Certifications in Infrared thermography are recognized worldwide. They are designed to exceed the requirements of international specialty standards.
The relevance of this certification:
- Checks and validates the thermograph’s professional abilities.
- It is a globally recognized label.
- Certifies that the thermograph has fully assimilated the techniques but also … the limits of infrared thermography.
The infrared camera or thermal camera
Infrared thermography involves transforming an infrared image into a radiometric image, which allows temperature values to be read. Several technologies are present in the thermal imaging camera market. Elite Caulking favors FLIR cameras because their infrared sensor allows you to measure the temperature at each point in the image and not on a zone like some other brands. In other words, every pixel of the rendered image IS A THERMOMETER! When you know that our camera captures in High Definition, the information collected is simply incredible… The precision of the measurements reported, the speed with which we can operate is surprising. The image obtained allows an immediate diagnosis, the problem is immediately identified as well as its extent…
Caulking, an economic and ecological concern
Since the oil crises and the awareness of the need to manage natural resources, people have paid more attention to the problems of air and water infiltration; causes of heat loss, waste of energy. Extra cost of heating and deterioration of buildings.
While caulking windows and doors has shown its effectiveness and economic relevance, the detection of other air and moisture losses is an essential complement, especially for houses that are a little old or poorly insulated and whose energy balance has not been carried out.
