• Eliminate unnecessary replacement of good roofing
• Plan accurate budgets based on facts
• Document problems before the warranty/bond expires.

Mechanical Systems:

• Boilers
• Inspect burners for flame impingement and burner management
• Look at combustion patterns of fuel
• Detect thermal patterns on boiler tubes and measure
  tube skin temperature during normal operation or
  when boiler is on standby
• Scan and record temperatures in areas of boiler not monitored
• Scan the exterior of boiler for refectory damage or
  locate warmer areas where potential refectory damage
  may occur
