Flat Roof Infrared Thermal Imaging
The majority of commercial buildings throughout Alberta have flat roof systems. While there are a variety of methods and materials used for flat roof coverings, they all have one thing in common. Flat roofs are susceptible to leaks.
Flat roofs are also very costly to replace and moisture intrusion can lead to structural damage eventually resulting in catastrophic failure such as a roof collapse.
The solution for reducing the costs associated with maintaining a flat roof is Infrared Thermal Imaging. Since areas with subsurface moisture have a higher thermal mass than dry areas, a trained thermographer can locate and document subsurface moisture with the proper conditions. This type of thermal inspection is typically performed in the evening during the spring, summer, and fall months.

Surface & Subsurface Moisture on a Flat Roof
An Infrared Roof Inspection costs only a small fraction of the amount of a roof replacement. If most of the roof is in good condition, the affected areas can be repaired rather than incurring the cost of an entire roof replacement. An Infrared Insulated Flat Roof Inspection at regular intervals offers a tremendous cost savings and can even help to extend the life of a roof.
