Thermal Imaging
Infrared Roof Inspection & Leak Detection
Locate wet insulation beneath flat roof membranes before leaks spread.

What is thermal roof moisture detection?
Thermal roof moisture scans detect wet insulation under flat roof membranes. Wet areas hold heat differently after sunset, so they appear distinct in infrared, letting roofers repair sections instead of replacing whole roofs.
Benefits
- Repair instead of full replacement
- Finds hidden leaks
- Maps wet areas precisely
- Supports warranty claims
How it works
- [ 01 ]Sunny day to charge the roof
- [ 02 ]Evening thermal flight
- [ 03 ]Wet-area outlines
- [ 04 ]Report for your roofer

Key terms on this page
- Flat Roof
- A low-slope roof common on commercial and multi-family buildings, prone to ponding water and hidden moisture.
- Wet Insulation
- Roof insulation soaked by leaks; it shows up in thermal scans because it holds heat differently than dry insulation.
