Infrared and Moisture Surveys for Commercial Roofs

Wet insulation holds heat differently than dry insulation. Surveys use that to map hidden water.

Service status: no local roofing partner confirmed yet. This page is information only.

How infrared works

After a sunny day, wet areas release heat more slowly at night. A thermal camera shows them as warmer spots, which are then confirmed with core samples.

Other methods

Capacitance and impedance meters measure moisture in a grid. They work in daylight and on roofs where infrared struggles.

Using the results

A wet-area map tells you how much to replace, and whether a coating or recover is possible.

Common questions

Does every roof suit infrared?
No. Ballasted roofs and some insulation types read poorly. Other methods may be better.
Do results need confirmation?
Yes. Core cuts confirm what the scan shows.
