Restorer’s Perspective: The Value of Thermal Imaging
Advances that allow IR cameras to attach to smartphones have made the technology more accessible, affordable for Vancouver-based Malkin Cleaners.
Malkin Cleaners (Vancouver, BC) has been in the restoration industry since 1923. But despite its lengthy tenure, it has only recently begun to appreciate the benefits of having one important tool in its repertoire when it comes to water damage restoration – thermal imaging cameras.
According to Nigel Malkin, owner, about a year ago the company acquired several thermal imaging cameras, some of which are hand held and some which integrate directly with technician iPhones. The investment has already paid big dividends when it comes to several different aspects of the job.
