FAQs
What is a thermal-imaging roof inspection?
A thermal-imaging roof inspection uses an infrared camera to measure temperature differences across the roof surface. Wet insulation, trapped moisture, missing or damaged shingles, and poor flashing all hold heat differently than dry, intact materials. By scanning just after sunset—when the roof is cooling—our certified thermographers can visualize those temperature anomalies and pinpoint hidden problems without removing any roofing material.
Why is thermal imaging especially useful for roofs in Evensville?
Evensville’s mix of hot, humid summers and cold, wet winters creates frequent expansion-contraction cycles and the risk of moisture intrusion. Traditional visual inspections may miss leaks that occur under the membrane or inside the insulation. Infrared scanning identifies those moisture pockets early, helping homeowners avoid costly structural rot or mold, while commercial property managers gain documentation they can present to insurers, lenders, or warranty providers.
What kinds of defects can an infrared roof scan detect?
• Moisture-soaked insulation and decking • Leaks around penetrations, skylights, chimneys, and HVAC curbs • Blistering, delamination, or loose seams on single-ply membranes • Missing or saturated low-slope roof ballast • Heat loss from poor attic insulation or ventilation issues • Electrical hot spots in rooftop equipment By mapping all anomalies on a high-resolution image, we give you an at-a-glance guide to areas that need repair or further invasive testing.
How long does the inspection take and what should I expect?
Most single-family homes take 45–90 minutes; large commercial roofs can require 2–4 hours. We schedule the scan about 30 minutes after sundown, when the temperature delta between wet and dry materials is greatest. Our technician walks the roof and captures both infrared and visible-light photos, then performs a brief attic scan if accessible. You receive a digital report—typically within 24 hours—containing annotated images, moisture-risk ratings, and prioritized repair recommendations.
Do I need to prepare the roof or shut down operations?
Very little prep is needed. For safety, clear loose debris and ensure all rooftop hatches or access points are unlocked. HVAC units can remain on; normal operation actually helps us detect insulation gaps. Because the work is non-destructive and done after business hours, most commercial facilities don’t have to interrupt production or tenant activities.
How much does a thermal roof inspection cost in Evensville and what’s included?
Residential infrared inspections start at $275 for roofs up to 3,000 sq ft. Commercial projects are priced between $0.08–$0.15 per square foot, depending on size, roof complexity, and reporting requirements. Every service includes on-site scanning by a Level-I or higher thermographer, moisture-intrusion mapping, aerial or handheld photos, a PDF report, and a follow-up call to discuss findings. If repairs are needed, we can provide a separate quote or work with your preferred contractor to validate the fix with a complimentary re-scan.
