FAQs
What is moisture-detection technology and how is it used during a roof inspection?
Moisture-detection technology combines tools such as infrared thermography, high-frequency capacitance meters, and pin-type moisture probes to locate hidden water within roofing systems. During an inspection we scan the entire roof surface; temperature or electrical resistance anomalies show where moisture has infiltrated insulation, decking, or seams without having to cut into the roof.
Why is moisture mapping important for roofs in Apison’s humid climate?
Apison experiences significant humidity, afternoon thunderstorms, and seasonal temperature swings. Even a small leak can let moisture accumulate in insulation where it accelerates rot, mold, and premature membrane failure. Early detection allows targeted repairs before widespread damage occurs, extending the roof’s life and preventing costly interior issues.
Is the inspection process disruptive to my business or household?
No. All equipment is portable and non-destructive. Most commercial roofs can be scanned from the surface without removing membranes or interior ceiling tiles. Residential roofs are inspected from the attic and roof deck, usually in under two hours. You can remain open for business or stay at home while we work.
How accurate is your moisture-detection system compared to traditional visual inspections?
Traditional inspections rely largely on sight and touch, which typically identify only about 30-40 % of hidden water damage. Our calibrated infrared cameras and electronic scanners detect moisture variations as small as 1 % by volume and pinpoint problem areas within ±2 inches. This increases diagnostic accuracy to well above 90 %, drastically reducing guesswork and unnecessary repairs.
What happens after the inspection—will I receive a report?
Yes. Within 24 hours you receive a digital report that includes thermal and scanner images, a moisture map overlay, written findings, and prioritized repair recommendations. If requested, we can also provide CAD drawings for warranty or insurance documentation and coordinate with your roofing contractor for corrective work.
How much does a moisture-detection roof inspection cost in Apison and is it worth it?
For typical single-family homes the service starts around $275; mid-size commercial buildings average $0.05–$0.10 per square foot, with final pricing based on roof complexity and access. Considering that early moisture discovery can save thousands in structural repairs, mold remediation, and unplanned downtime, most customers find the inspection pays for itself many times over.
