Roof Moisture

Certified, Insured, Nationwide Service

Our roof scans on low-sloped roofs identify moisture trapped in the insulation and below the surface membrane. During the day, the sun heats the entire roof system and when the sun goes down, the roof cools down - except where there is moisture-laden insulation. These areas remain warmer well into the night. Using our thermal camera we identify wet areas and mark them directly on the roof surface and document them on a scaled roof drawing. Our clients then have the information they need to order the necessary repairs and not trap damaging moisture in the roof system.
