We use state of the art thermal imaging cameras to help identify and locate areas with heat loss. By finding these spots we can eliminate possible condensation issues which are a major cause of leaks in all 4 seasons. Using the same technology, we can also identify wet insulation within the roof system. By doing this we can remove only what is damaged, and extend the life of the roof, should the roof be in good shape and a good candidate for larger scale repairs versus a re-roof.
Due to the high cost of replacing a damaged roof, thermal imaging should be performed whenever a building is purchased, sold or leased. Thermal imaging provides the diagnostic information necessary for developing an effective roof maintenance program, planning capital budgets and for making informed decisions when considering roof repairs, replacement or resurfacing.
Our high resolution Infrared thermal imaging cameras, find the trapped moisture as shown in the images above. Wet areas are identified and marked to show exactly where tactical repairs are to be made. By marking wet areas directly on the roof, they can be seen by building owners and roofing contractors after the survey is performed. Often, we find that the infrared survey shows is it is not necessary to replace an entire roof, that only a few sections are "wet" and repairs can be made surgically to only these areas.
