Roof Thermal Scans
Roof Moisture Thermal Scans
Wet insulation holds heat differently, and infrared sees the difference. Roof scans map suspect areas by section so repairs target where the water actually is.
Symptoms we're called for
- A flat or low-slope roof with recurring leaks
- Interior ceiling stains that move or return
- A roof due for replacement and no idea of the wet extent
- Warranty or dispute questions about existing repairs
Property types
- Commercial and institutional flat roofs
- Strata low-slope roofs and parkade decks
- Residential flat and low-slope sections
Methods used
- Thermal scan under suitable conditions, typically after sunset
- Section-by-section anomaly mapping
- Core or moisture confirmation where access permits
- Visual reference imagery for each anomaly
Limitations, stated plainly
- Thermal finds patterns; confirmation still requires moisture measurement
- Ballast, reflective coatings and ponding affect readings
- Scans are snapshots: conditions change with weather and time
What you receive
- A roof plan with anomaly areas marked
- Thermal imagery with references
- A written summary for the roofing contractor
Next steps
- Have flagged sections moisture-confirmed before cutting
- Target repairs to mapped areas
- Re-scan after repair for verification
