Here’s a few key factors to consider when thinking about whether infrared inspections should be part of your roof maintenance program:
1. Roof construction: Infrared roof inspections work best on built up or single-ply membrane installed over, and in continuous contact with, a layer of insulation or an insulating deck. Roofs that have concrete pavers are not good candidates.
2. Time of Day: Generally infrared inspections are best performed at night after a sunny day. Daytime highs should be above 40F. There are other weather factors to consider – give me a call at 803-3328-2889 and let’s talk!

Predictive Roof Maintenance
“But the roof isn’t leaking!” is something I often hear from potential clients. If the roof isn’t actively leaking, often there is no motivation for facility managers to perform roof inspections of any kind. Typically, we are only called AFTER problems appear.
Is it really cost effective to have thermal roof scans done as part of your regular maintenance program?
Often when we inspect roofs, we will find wet areas that only comprise a small total of the entire roof. Especially in large commercial buildings where the total roof surface area can be tens of thousands of square feet large, the cost of replacing a roof can be huge.
When we use infrared thermography to identify specific areas for repair and subsequent re-assessment, we find that the savings in annual maintenance costs more than pays for the cost of the thermal roof scan.
Using thermography as a proactive maintenance tool can increase your roof performance, extended its service life, and reduce overall maintenance. If you are a facility manager who is responsible for the maintenance of your building, why not contact us to learn more? For more information, call me at 803-328-2889 or drop me an email!
