Infrared roof scans and surveys are all performed following ASTM guidelines for locating wet roof insulation.
So How Do Roof Surveys Work?
Roof Scans are usually scheduled 2-3 hours after sunset. This is because the sun radiates energy (heat) onto the roof and roof substrate during the day. After sunset, as it starts to cool, the roof radiates the heat back into the atmosphere. This process is called radiational cooling and it is what makes roof surveys using thermography possible.
The areas of the roof that are wet retain heat longer than dry areas. Infrared imagers can “see” these areas. In addition to detecting areas of damage that lead to roof leaks, it’s also the perfect time to conduct heat loss and other infrared services!
The reports provided from a Roof Scan Infrared survey give your roofing professionals the information they need to recommend cost-effective removal and replacement of the wet areas – extending the life of your roof!
