Commercial Roof Construction Defects

A Million Square Feet of Roof Equals Massive Opportunity for Damage

Representing an investment that can run into the millions of dollars, commercial buildings and their contents are a valuable asset that must be protected (and no, I'm not talking about insurance although you need that too)!

Commercial roofing systems protect the integrity of the building as well as the assets within. It is imperative that your commercial roof is both weather tight and energy efficient. Any compromise could result in excessive heating and cooling costs, property damage, and production loss. Of course, when you stand outside and look up, everything looks ok, right? So how do you know if the integrity of your commercial roofing system is intact?

Infrared thermography is still one of the most effective non-intrusive test methods to determine if moisture intrusion is happening (BEFORE you can actually see the damage) and if you are losing heat or cooled air. In fact, regular infrared roof scans can increase the lifespan of your commercial roof by as much as 300%!

Infrared thermography not only detects and verifies moisture infiltration, but it can also "see" and tracking moisture migration paths. Using infrared thermography can detect stone veneer, stucco, brick or other siding construction defects and it can be a valuable tool to reduce remediation costs by identifying the source of the issue.
