It’s springtime, and the rain has come. While the moisture is good for the flowers, it’s not necessarily good for your roof. Moisture build-up can cause major damage to a roofing structure, which can lead to premature roof failure. This damage can go undetected to the naked eye. Luckily, thermal imaging can detect moisture problems that often go undetected or overlooked.
Thermal imaging uses infrared technology to identify areas of moisture intrusion. It does this by detecting temperature differentials across the roof. An immediate thermographic image will show the affected areas. This image helps identify the areas of intrusion and moisture damage that are not normally noticed.
Wet insulation is a sign of roof failure and energy inefficiency. Thermal imaging is important in identifying wet insulation so that premature roof failure does not happen. Roof thermal imaging helps pinpoint the areas of moisture intrusion so that those areas of leakage can be repaired, or even replaced. By fixing these areas, the roof’s lifespan will be increased, and the roof will be more energy efficient.
Unaddressed small problems don’t stay small; they grow. Thermal imaging helps detect roof problems so that they don’t become larger. It’s a vital tool in keeping your roof healthy.
