Infrared Thermography in Roofs

Infrared (IR) imaging detects heat radiated from the roof’s surface. A thermal camera creates images called thermograms that map surface temperature variations across the entire roof.

Wet areas, having altered thermal mass, show up as warmer patches during cooldown periods. Dry sections cool more quickly and appear colder in IR images.

Thermal patterns: These anomalies hot spots or sometimes cool spots, depending on conditions correspond to areas where water is trapped beneath the membrane or within insulation.

Why This Matters

• Early detection: Thermal mass differences allow inspectors to spot wet insulation or leaks before visible signs of damage appear on the surface.
• Accurate mapping: Large or complex roof areas are efficiently scanned, pinpointing problem zones for targeted repairs.
• Non-invasive: No need to damage or dismantle roofing materials; issues are located from the exterior.
