Infrared Roof Inspection

What This Service Involves

Infrared cameras reveal temperature differences where water has saturated insulation or decking beneath an intact-looking surface. In our climate, moisture can migrate far from its entry point, so a leak staining a ceiling may originate several feet away, and thermal imaging traces it to the source. We scan during the right thermal conditions to make wet areas glow against dry ones, then confirm findings with a moisture meter. This pinpoints repairs precisely instead of tearing open guesswork sections of roof.

Benefits

Locate hidden moisture before it rots the deck; pinpoint a leak's true source, not just its stain; avoid unnecessary tear-out with targeted repairs; document wet areas for insurance or warranty claims

Our Process

1) We wait for the thermal conditions that make moisture visible; 2) we scan the roof surface with a calibrated infrared camera; 3) we verify suspect areas with a moisture meter; 4) we map the wet zones and recommend targeted repairs

What Affects the Cost

Roof area and the scan time involved; access method, whether walked or flown; whether moisture-meter verification is included; the timing needed to achieve proper thermal contrast; complexity of mapping and reporting findings

Best Time of Year

Scans work best after a dry day heading into a cool evening, when trapped moisture holds heat and stands out clearly.
