Thermal Leak Detection
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging inspections provide us with
a picture of a specific condition of a building. Infrared cameras allow us the
ability to see and locate what the naked eye is unable to detect. Infrared
images can capture thermal anomalies from moisture or water damage, roof leaks,
stucco, EIFS, and window leakage. Infrared Scans are able to locate water and
moisture intrusion in buildings by thermal patterns. A Building Envelope survey
can locate missing or deficient insulation, water leakage or moisture in
commercial buildings, energy loss from windows and doors and flat roof surveys
for water intrusion. Thermal Moisture Imaging TM Infrared surveys can
pinpoint water damage, by locating leaks in buildings, roofs, and heat loss from
missing or deficient insulation. Infrared Surveys can be used to identify and
locate overheating electrical, mechanical and machinery components prior to
failure. Thermal Moisture Imaging TM Infrared Surveys for
Preventive/Predictive Maintenance of electrical components is recognized by most
industry professionals and insurance companies.

Infrared inspection is a valuable technique for detecting and finding roof
leaks before they grow into expensive problems, especially in flat roofs. We are
experienced in surveying all types of flat roof coverings ranging from
traditional tar and gravel to modern single ply coverings of EPDM or TPO. Flat
roofs should be inspected periodically for leaks and moisture intrusion at seams
and penetrations. We perform roof surveys for building owners and maintenance
staffs to help them detect failures before they cause expensive water damage to
tenants or building structures.
Below are additional examples of how Thermal Imaging-Leak Detection has
detected water damage that was not visible to the naked eye.

The source of this roof leak was unable to be
located visually, but our infrared camera detected the exact source of the leak
immediately and saved our customer several thousands of dollars by not replacing a roof that
still had several years of life, contrary to the opinion of his other estimates.

Visually, this interior roof structure inside this
medical facility looks good, but our infrared imaging detects anomalies
immediately.

Benefits:
-
Repair only the leak, not
the entire roof!
-
Correct problems before
additional damage happens.
-
Find leaks not visible to
the naked eye.
-
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY - less roofing in the
landfill.
-
Scans done during early
evening - No Business disruption.
-
ASTM C-1153 Standard for
Flat Roof Thermal IR inspections.
All anomalies are paint
marked for easy identification during daylight hours for core sampling per ASTM
C-1153 Standard

Weather and temperature conditions must be considered when using infrared to
locate roof leaks. We are experts in the right conditions for detecting moisture
under roof membranes. Whether you want to know the extent of an active roof
leak, suspect your roof covering, or just want some peace of mind prior to the
expiration of a roof warranty, we can help. Roof surveys are necessary to avoid
the cost of water damage and repair of an undetected roof leak. Let our trained
professionals schedule a FREE roof survey today and start saving money
immediately. Call us TODAY!.

Don't wait until it's too late. Infrared
imaging will detect concealed issues such as structural rot, mold, and other
potentially dangerous conditions.
