Roof Thermal Imaging

The physics used for thermal roof inspections is that dry roof insulation heats up and cools down faster than wet roof insulation.

Roof thermal imaging.

The temperature difference between damaged and dry roof is very small typically 2 4 degrees. Facility directors engineering departments and commercial roofers use our thermal and infrared imagery to make repairs where they are needed avoiding complete roof replacement. Cameras used for building diagnostics are well suited for theses applications due to their lower temperature range and increased sensitivity. There are a number of different methods for using thermography on a roof system.

Thermal imaging has been used since the 1970s to help determine if your facility needs a total roof replacement or if your facility roof can be repaired in the damaged areas. This moisture takes longer to cool than the rest of the roof system and can be seen with the infrared imager. And thermal imaging partners. Our expertise in commercial industrial and multifamily roofing systems can save you money.

They are an integral part of delivering the best quality roof at a fair price. Infrared thermal imaging is a valuable technique for non destructively inspecting roofs of many types and constructions. Weller infrared service is your best choice for infrared roof surveys and roof inspections. Roofing professionals have been using thermal imaging cameras for years to pinpoint water intrusion find moisture beneath the surface and document dryness with accuracy and confidence.

Infrared thermal roof inspection is cost effective. Because of this a camera with high thermal sensitivity is desired for roof inspections. Infrared roof thermal imaging surveys. Thermal imaging detects heat held by moisture in the roofing system thereby creating a difference in the radiant heat loss after heat gain stops which allows for the detection of potential moisture.

What is an infrared roof survey. Thermographic roof surveys to locate water intrusion leaks and inspect insulation performance. When compared to dealing with a catastrophic loss of a failed low slope insulated or flat roof annual ir roof thermal imaging scan and preventive maintenance is a clear winner. With inspectors located in orange la san diego and riverside counties we currently service all of southern california and offer national service via our affiliate network affiliation with united infrared inc.

Infrared inspection goes beyond simply finding a leak by locating the extent of the moisture invasion of the insulation. We perform infrared thermal imaging roof surveys and roof inspections throughout the southeastern united states.
