INFRARED ROOF INSPECTIONS
Infrared (IR) Roof Inspection for Commercial, Industrial, and Property Management on Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai.
Accurately locate areas of latent moisture trapped in your roof.
Infrared roof inspections are a proven method for detecting trapped moisture problems in flat roofs. Infrared roof Thermography can help building owners and property management companies find roof problems. Due to the high cost of replacing an excessively damaged roof, Thermographic roof inspections should be performed whenever a building is purchased, sold or leased.
Infrared roof surveys provide the diagnostic information necessary for developing an effective roof maintenance program, planning capital budgets, and for making informed decisions when considering roof repairs, replacement, or resurfacing with one of the popular new roof coatings.
The question is not "will my roof leak?" but "when will my roof leak?"
For roofs, the question should always be “when will my roof leak?”. As roofs age and take continued abuse from the elements, they leak. Seams separate, flashing fail, and membranes get damaged. In most cases, a roof leak starts long before the warranty period expires.
We’ll help you save you money on costly roof replacement by pinpointing areas of repair so you can use your repair dollars efficiently.
Infrared Roof Inspection Process:
- Google Earth– We evaluate the size, shape, and complexity of your roof using Google Earth and plan an inspection for a thorough inspection.
- Infrared & Visual Inspection – While conducting our infrared inspection, we visually check for obvious signs of cracking, penetrations, or damage of the roof. Our forensic approach ensure you get the best results and the most complete roadmap to a successful repair.
- Identification – We use highly visible paint to identify the exact location of temperature anomalies indicative of moisture. Outlining these locations gives your roofing contractor the areas to test to confirm the presence of water. This process coupled with our detailed reporting system gives you the exact locations to successfully repair your roof in the most cost effective way.
How INFRARED ROOF INSPECTIONS WORK
During the day, the sun radiates energy onto the roof and into the roof substrate. At night, the roof radiates the heat back into outer space. This is called radiational cooling. Areas of the roof that are of a higher mass (wet) retain this heat longer than that of the lower mass (dry) areas.
Infrared imagers can detect this heat and “see” the warmer, higher mass areas, during the “window” of uneven heat dissipation. Heat loss and other IR services can be performed at the same time.
INSULATED ROOF Infrared INSPECTION STANDARDS
We perform qualitative and quantitative flat and low sloping roof infrared inspections which are used for predictive/preventive maintenance, condition monitoring, failure inspection, and research and development by facilities throughout Hawaii. All our Infrared (IR) inspections are performed by Infraspection Institute Certified Infrared Thermographers using state-of-the-art equipment with industry developed reporting standards.
Infrared Inspection Hawaii performs Flat Roof infrared inspections in accordance with the Infraspection Standard for Infrared Inspections of Insulated Roofs.
