We have a client that her horse has been limping and after several trips from the veterinarian, she still didn’t have an idea of why the horse was limping. She has babied it and everything that she knew to do, but to no avail. The veterinarian nor the owner could pinpoint the problem. She finally remembered us mentioning that David had gone through an extensive class on Equine Thermal Imaging and gave us a call.

David happily went over with his camera and scanned the horse and located the problem instantly.

He did a full scan on the horse while he was there and he also found the main issue in the leg and then he found an issue in the hoof that the owner didn’t even realize was there.

So many times horse owners spend days and valuable time trying to figure out what is going on with their animal.  Next time you have a situation that you need immediate knowledge about call Southern IR to come out and provide you with a Thermal Equine Scan.  We also work in conjunction with a Veterinarian that is skilled in reading infrared reports.  Contact us today at 404-788-2581.

Equine Thermography is not often heard of and yet very useful when determing conditions that may be going on in your horses body. So often we can’t see the damaged or hurt areas with our naked eye. Now thanks to infrared technology we can discover the problem areas. Thermal imaging is totally safe and non-invasive. When you suspect a problem now you have someone local to call. David Lelak, owner of Southern Infrared Services is now trainined to provide equine thermography. Call us at 404-788-2581 to find out more about this information.

Remember the next time your horse has a problem and can’t tell you what is wrong, give us a call at 404-788-2581 to set up an appointment for thermal imaging. You’ll be glad you did!

Take a Sunday drive on Towne Lake Parkway and you will see hundreds of used cars for sale. In the window of every one, by state law, you will see a condition sheet. Some will indicate there has been an inspection and others will indicate as is. Did you know not one home for sale in the Woodstock or Canton area is required to have a home inspection prior to sale? Every home for sale in Cherokee County is offered “as is” unless they are brand new construction and covered by a warranty. Even then there may be problems with construction which could lead to personal property damage not covered by the home builder’s warranty.

Can you imagine there is not as much requirement for a home inspection as there is for inspections on used cars? The good news is, whether you are looking for homes in Cherokee, Cobb, Fulton, Bartow, Gwinnett or other North Georgia areas you have the right to a home inspection. When your real estate agent makes the offer on the home you simply ask them to execute the contingency to have your home inspector perform a complete home inspection prior to your purchasing the home.

Now a normal home inspection will provide you with a great report and a lot of digital pictures.  A thermal imaging infrared home inspection will go one step further and check for those things that can not be seen with a naked eye.  The best thing about thermal imaging inspection is the fact that it can check for things in walls without ever damaging the property.

The picture to the right is where a client kept smelling a musty odor but could not locate where it was coming from.  I did the thermal scan and found this closet had moisture penetration from the water heater located on the other side of the wall.  The water heater was leaking on the back edge and seeping into the closet area which had carpet in it.  Problem found without tearing out any walls or and damage.

Call today to see how thermal imaging and infrared services can benefit you!

So many times we are asked the question “Do I really need to get a home inspection done if the house is a brand new home?”  The answer is Yes.  Now let me explain why.

First of all, the builders hire out most of the work  to contractors and sometimes have several projects or homes going on at one time.  The builder will do his best to keep on top of everything but even the best builder is human and that means that he can miss something.  Now I’m sure that the builder only tries to hire the best contractors but more and more often corners are having to be cut.

This is just a test now.
