Roof Leaks
Thermal imaging is used to survey, detect and find roof leaks, trapped moisture under waterproofing, damaged or missing insulation and hidden structural features.
Even buildings with solid structures like brick, block or tile are susceptible to roof leaks.
Surface damage to the outer membrane causes water to be absorbed into sub-surface insulation layers. By the time you notice a stain or hear a drip, the damage has progressed well into your roof and walls.
The source of a roof leak is usually very difficult to determine. It can take an experienced roofing technician hours to locate. Eevn when water appears to be pooling in the middle of a ceiling, the leak source is usually far away from where the water has actually penetrated.
We recommend a thermal imaging survery:
- When leaks are detected within the roofing system
- Prior to acceptance of a new roof system
- Before any existing warranties expire
- Before acquiring a new building
- Before roofing over an existing roof
- For planned maintenance purposes
- When a pre-purchase construction report is needed
