FAQs
What is thermal imaging roof inspection and how does it work?
Thermal imaging roof inspection uses an infrared camera to capture temperature variations across your roof’s surface. Because moisture-saturated insulation and hidden leaks retain heat differently than dry areas, the camera reveals "hot" or "cold" spots that the naked eye cannot detect. Our certified technicians perform the scan at dusk or dawn in Graysville’s ideal ambient conditions, then analyze the images to pinpoint trapped moisture, damaged insulation, and potential leak paths without invasive core cuts.
Why is thermal imaging especially useful for roofs in Graysville?
Graysville experiences a mix of hot, humid summers and cool, wet winters—conditions that cause thermal expansion, contraction, and periodic moisture intrusion. Traditional visual inspections may miss early-stage water ingress beneath membranes or shingles. Thermal imaging identifies hidden moisture before it leads to mold, deck rot, or structural damage, helping Graysville property owners act proactively, comply with local building codes, and extend roof life despite our challenging climate.
Will the thermal imaging process damage my roof or disrupt my business?
No. Thermal imaging is a completely non-destructive, non-contact technology. Our team merely walks the roof surface with handheld or drone-mounted infrared cameras and never drills or removes materials. The scan typically takes 30–90 minutes depending on roof size, and there is no downtime for occupants or business operations. Results are delivered the same or next business day in a detailed, easy-to-understand report.
How often should I schedule a thermal imaging roof inspection in Graysville?
Most commercial and residential clients in Graysville benefit from an annual thermal scan—ideally late summer or early fall, after peak heat but before the wetter season sets in. For roofs older than 10 years, or facilities with sensitive equipment inside, bi-annual scans are advisable. Routine imaging allows us to track moisture trends over time, verify that repairs have been effective, and budget accurately for future maintenance or replacement.
What information will I receive after the inspection?
You will receive a comprehensive PDF report that includes: 1) annotated infrared and visible-light images of your roof, 2) mapped locations of moisture anomalies with GPS coordinates, 3) severity ratings and probable causes, 4) recommendations for targeted repairs or further testing, and 5) cost-saving analysis of addressing issues now versus later. If preferred, we can also provide CAD roof plans and collaborate directly with your roofing contractor to develop a repair scope.
How much does a thermal imaging roof inspection cost in the Graysville area?
Pricing depends on roof size, complexity, and whether a drone flight is required. For most Graysville homes (up to 3,000 sq ft), inspections start around $299. Mid-size commercial roofs (10,000–25,000 sq ft) range from $750 to $1,200, while large industrial facilities are quoted per project. The service often pays for itself by revealing small, precise repair areas and preventing premature roof replacement. We provide free estimates and can bundle thermal imaging with annual maintenance plans for additional savings.
