Moisture-detecting Tech | Roof Inspections | Roofing | Greenback
Your Greenback home battles sun, storms, and the slow creep of humidity every single day. HEP’s cutting-edge moisture-detecting technology peers beneath the shingles, using infrared imaging and smart sensors to uncover trapped water long before it stains your ceiling or feeds hidden mold. Our technicians walk every inch of your roof, then translate the digital data into clear, actionable insights—so you’ll know exactly which spots need fast fixes and which areas are still rock-solid.
These proactive roof inspections mean fewer surprises and far smaller repair bills. With early detection on your side, you can plan upgrades on your schedule, strengthen energy efficiency, and extend the life of your entire roofing system. Trust the local team that treats every Greenback rooftop like their own, and experience peace of mind with a dry, durable shield overhead.
FAQs
How does your moisture-detecting technology work during a roof inspection?
We use non-invasive infrared thermography and capacitance probes to map temperature differentials and dielectric changes across your roof surface. Wet insulation retains heat longer than dry areas, so the infrared camera highlights hidden moisture pockets. Capacitance meters confirm the readings by measuring electrical permittivity through the membrane. The data is compiled into a color-coded report that pinpoints leaks to within inches, allowing precise repairs without destructive core cuts.
Why is moisture detection important for roofs in Greenback’s climate?
Greenback experiences significant annual rainfall and high summer humidity. Even a small breach in the roofing membrane can allow water to infiltrate insulation, leading to mold, deck deterioration, higher energy bills, and premature roof failure. Early moisture detection lets you correct problems before they spread, extending roof life by 5–10 years and protecting the building envelope from costly structural damage.
What roof materials and building types can be inspected with your system?
Our instruments are calibrated for virtually all low-slope commercial and residential roofing systems, including TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, built-up roofs, metal panels, and spray foam. We routinely inspect warehouses, offices, multifamily complexes, schools, and single-family homes. Steep-slope shingle roofs can also be scanned if there is attic access or a continuous substrate beneath the shingles.
Will the inspection damage my roof or disrupt occupants?
No. The infrared scan is performed from the roof surface or adjacent vantage points without drilling, cutting, or heavy equipment. Capacitance probes have smooth pads that glide over the membrane, leaving no marks. Because the process is silent and requires minimal foot traffic, occupants rarely notice we are on site. All work follows OSHA safety standards to protect personnel and property.
How long does a typical moisture-detecting roof inspection take and what do I receive afterward?
A 20,000-square-foot roof usually requires 1–2 hours for the scan and on-site verification, plus additional time in our office to analyze the images. Within 48 hours you receive a digital report with infrared photos, CAD-drawn moisture maps, problem-area annotations, and prioritized repair recommendations. If requested, we can meet on-site to walk you through the findings in person.
What are the costs and scheduling options for a moisture-detecting roof inspection in Greenback?
Pricing is based on roof size, accessibility, and complexity, but most commercial inspections in Greenback range from $0.06 to $0.12 per square foot, with a $350 minimum for smaller residential projects. We schedule inspections Monday through Saturday and can often accommodate next-day service after heavy storms. Annual and semi-annual inspection programs qualify for discounted rates and include comparative trend reports.
