Thermal imaging is a non-invasive technique used to identify the root causes of water damage or mold damage issues. By using advanced infrared technology, we can detect hidden moisture, heat leaks, and structural defects without the need for demolition. Hiring a licensed thermal imaging professional like Arizona Restoration Contractors ensures accurate detection and a precise restoration plan. We are BBB-accredited and have extensive experience in thermal imaging for water, mold, and fire damage assessments.

Thermal imaging utilizes specialized cameras to detect and visualize temperature variations through infrared radiation. This non-contact approach is crucial in identifying hidden moisture, heat leaks, and structural defects displayed in distinctive color patterns. Essential in water damage restoration and mold detection , thermal imaging aids in quickly pinpointing problem areas without invasive methods. It enhances the efficiency and accuracy of restoration efforts, particularly in post-disaster scenarios.

Water damage is categorized into three types by the IICRC, each requiring specific handling methods to prevent health risks and additional damage. 

1. Category 1 – Clean Water: Comes from a sanitary source such as broken water supply lines. Left untreated, it can degrade into more dangerous categories. 
2. Category 2 – Grey Water: This type contains contaminants and can cause illness if ingested. Common sources include washing machine or dishwasher discharges. 
3. Category 3 – Black Water: Highly contaminated water that poses severe health risks. It originates from sewage backups, natural floods, or stagnant water harboring bacteria.  

Water damage can spread like wildfire and will only get worse if no action is taken. At Arizona Restoration Contractors, we move at an aggressive, but reasoned, pace, and provide long-term solutions. Our technicians utilize experience and state-of-the-art equipment to restore properties throughout the Phoenix region.

Water Damage Restoration 

We restore damage from leaks, overflows, broken pipes, visible damage, and hidden damage. Each affected surface will be inspected, cleaned, and rebuilt to restore structural integrity and safety.

Water Extraction

Our technicians use commercial extraction pumps and vacuums to remove water from floors, walls, and crawlspaces. Fast extraction makes a big difference in reducing damage and improving drying time. 

Water Mitigation

Mitigation is stopping water from spreading and causing further problems, and removing negative materials. We seal off affected areas, and the targeted drying process begins to prevent long-term structural damage.

Sewage Cleanup

Backups and overflows are appropriately managed by established safety protocols. We ensure a disinfecting procedure is provided, and that all contaminated materials are removed for a safe environment. 

Thermal Inspection

We utilize thermal imaging in order to see moisture inside walls and flooring. This means we can identify water that is unnoticeable and prevent hidden mould growth with our Infrared Technology.

Structural Drying & Dehumidification

Using high-volume air movers and industrial dehumidifiers, we dry out and stabilize the building materials by pulling the moisture out of the structural components. This step prevents mold and deterioration.

Flood Damage Cleanup

Phoenix experiences flash floods and storm runoff regularly. Our cleanup service will take care of debris and clean/disinfect surfaces affected by floodwater intrusion. We restore safety and prevent contamination.

Certain damages are rather easy to observe. Other times, water hides behind drywall, beneath floorboards, or above ceilings. Often, you will see one of these warning indicators. If you see any of these, call Arizona Restoration Contractors to evaluate your home or business:

Visible Water Stains
Brown or yellow marks on ceilings and walls often mean a slow leak is soaking the materials underneath. These areas can weaken over time.

Warped or Buckling Floors
Water can cause hardwood and laminate flooring to warp or rise. If your floors are shifting or feel uneven, it’s time for a closer look.

Peeling or Bubbling Paint & Wallpaper
Moisture behind walls can push against surface coatings. Bubbles, peeling, or flaking paint is a clear sign of trapped water.

Mold or Mildew Growth
If you’re spotting mold patches or mildew spreading in damp areas, there’s likely hidden moisture feeding the growth.

Musty or Damp Odors
A persistent, earthy smell can mean water is trapped somewhere out of sight. These odors usually point to mold or ongoing leaks.

Rust on Metal Fixtures or Appliances
When water contacts metal, corrosion follows. Rust on baseboards, hinges, or appliances signals a moisture problem that needs attention.
