We see what the wall is hiding.
Thermography reads the temperature of surfaces and reveals problems invisible to the naked eye: heat loss, water ingress, system leaks, mould. It is a non-destructive survey — no digging and no demolition to find out where the fault is.
What it detects
A thermal map turns a suspicion into data. This is what we bring to light.
Where the building envelope loses heat: the areas to fix to cut energy use and discomfort.
A map of moisture in walls and roofs, to trace it back to the point of entry.
The trail of water under floors and plaster, without opening things up at random.
Surfaces at risk of condensation, identified before the damage becomes visible.
The layout of the pipes — worth knowing before drilling or fixing anything to the floor.
Contacts, terminals and panels heating abnormally: a risk spotted before it becomes a failure.
Locating load-bearing elements hidden behind finishes and suspended ceilings.
Survey examples
Some real thermal maps: each image turns a suspicion into readable data.
Who carries it out
2A Studio's thermographic surveys are carried out by Andrea Pallini, a non-destructive testing (NDT) operator certified to level 2.
Level 2 is not a formality: it is what qualifies an operator not only to capture the images but to interpret them and write the report. Combined with expertise in waterproofing, the service ends with a concrete promise — we find the leak and tell you how to fix it. Not just where, but what to do.
NDT operator in thermography: level 1 ISO 18436 and level 2 ISO 9712, certification issued by RINA (August 2025).

Equipment
320×240 sensor, thermal sensitivity < 0.030 °C, interchangeable lens.
Ambient and contact readings, to interpret the thermal data in its real context.
Annotated thermograms and practical guidance on the recommended work.
Every body above absolute zero (−273.15 °C) emits infrared radiation. The thermal camera measures it and turns it into a temperature map: that is how a wall “tells” what is inside it.
Who it's for
Building managers
Water ingress and heat loss across several buildings: we find the cause and recommend the work, with a report to keep on record.
Homeowners
Before buying or renovating, or to find the cause of a damp patch that keeps coming back.
Contractors and studios
Diagnostics supporting works, inspections and checks, as an external technical service.
