Infrared Imaging
In Building Properties
Infrared thermography detects hidden moisture by exploiting differences in how wet and dry roofing materials store and lose heat.
This method provides detailed, accurate information about underlying problems and helps building owners target repairs before major issues develop.
What Inspectors Look For
Warm Anomalies: At night, wet insulation and materials appear warmer than surrounding dry roof areas due to slower cooling.
Cold Spots: Under certain scenarios, moisture can also show up as cool areas, depending on inspection timing, roof materials, and weather conditions.
Thermal Patterns: Trained inspectors interpret the thermal images to pinpoint the location and extent of trapped moisture, which may not be visible during standard visual inspections.
- Non-Destructive: No need to damage the roof; moisture mapping is performed externally.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Large roof areas, including those that are hard to reach, can be scanned quickly and thoroughly, especially with drone-based infrared systems.
- Early Detection: Moisture problems are found before they cause visible leaks, mold, or structural damage, allowing for targeted repairs and lower long-term costs.
- Routine Maintenance: To ensure the roof’s integrity during regular inspections.
- After Storms: Post-weather events where water intrusion is suspected but not obvious.
- During Real Estate Transactions: For due diligence and capital planning.
