This issue of R&R is chock full of trends and industry analysis. While you can read a whole lot more on the state of the restoration industry as a whole on page 9, this interview takes a deep dive into the topic of thermal imaging. According to R&R’s 2018 State of the Industry study, half of all restoration companies use thermal imaging for water damage restoration jobs, and almost 30 percent of companies plan to purchase more of them in the next 12 months. This is certainly an industry tool that continues to evolve, as FLIR’s Director of Marketing, Richard Wexler, explains in this interview. Enjoy!
