Block Wall Inspections |
A non-destructive infrared survey of your CMU (concrete masonry unit) block wall is accurate, and inexpensive.
Infrared is best way to see your grouted cells, insulation and air-leakage in the entire wall section. Non-destructive infrared testing can be performed at any time during your construction process without delaying or interrupting any other trades or affecting the progress of your project.
You might think the only way to know whether the grouted cells, bond beams, insulation and other components of a block wall are properly placed, is to open it up with hammer or drill, where the grout or insulation is supposed to be and see if it is there. However, this method of testing is destructive and inadequate as the small holes do not show where blockages and/or too much grout exists. This also makes it expensive since you have no conclusive results and a bunch of holes to fill in.
Your major benefits arise from having a block wall infrared survey performed on your newly constructed concrete masonry wall (CMU)
- When deficiencies are found, your report will document problems, so that corrections can be made with surgical precision.
- You get what you paid for and designers can literally "see" that their specifications have been followed.
