FAQs
What is infrared precision roofing and how does it work?
Infrared precision roofing is an advanced inspection method that uses thermal-imaging cameras to capture the temperature profile of your roof system. When the sun heats a roof during the day, wet or compromised areas hold heat longer than dry, intact areas. By scanning the roof surface after sunset, our certified technicians can see these temperature differences on an infrared image (thermogram), pinpointing hidden moisture, insulation voids, and membrane defects without removing a single shingle or panel.
Why should I choose infrared inspections for my Rutledge roof?
Rutledge’s mix of humid summers and cool winters puts continuous stress on roofing materials. Traditional visual inspections can miss early-stage problems that stay below the surface. Infrared inspections reveal trapped moisture before it causes rot, mold, or structural decay, letting you schedule targeted repairs instead of paying for a full replacement later. The result is longer roof life, lower maintenance costs, and reliable protection against the region’s severe weather events.
Can infrared technology detect leaks that are not visible from the surface?
Yes. Water often migrates under membranes or inside insulation layers, making the leak path invisible from the rooftop. Infrared imaging detects the thermal signature of that hidden moisture, identifying the exact leak origin and its spread area. This non-destructive insight helps us stop the leak at its source, eliminate guesswork, and minimize unnecessary tear-offs.
How accurate is infrared scanning compared to traditional roof inspection methods?
Independent studies show that infrared scanning correctly identifies moisture intrusions with an accuracy rate above 90 percent when performed by certified thermographers. In contrast, random core sampling or visual surveys catch only the areas actually opened or directly observed. Because we scan 100 percent of your roof, you receive a comprehensive moisture map rather than a handful of spot checks, drastically reducing the chance of missed problems.
Will the infrared inspection process damage my roof or disrupt my business?
No. Our infrared survey is completely non-contact and non-invasive. Technicians walk the roof with lightweight cameras or operate drones, so there is no drilling, cutting, or heavy equipment involved. Most commercial roofs up to 50,000 sq ft can be scanned in a single evening, meaning zero production downtime for businesses and no disturbance to occupants.
What is the typical cost and turnaround time for an infrared precision roofing inspection in Rutledge?
For residential properties, inspections generally range from $250 to $450 depending on roof size and complexity. Commercial projects average $0.08–$0.15 per square foot. You’ll receive a digital thermographic report—including imagery, problem area overlays, and repair recommendations—within 24–48 hours after the scan. Because we are locally based in Rutledge, scheduling is flexible and emergency scans can often be arranged the same day storms strike.
