FAQs
What is an infrared roof inspection and how does it work?
An infrared roof inspection uses a specialized thermal-imaging camera to measure minute temperature variations across the roofing surface. Areas holding moisture, trapped air, or missing insulation heat up and cool down at different rates than the surrounding dry, well-insulated areas. By scanning the roof at the optimal time of day (usually just after sunset), our certified thermographers create a color-coded thermogram that clearly highlights anomalies. These temperature patterns allow us to pinpoint hidden leaks, wet insulation, voids, and other defects without removing any roofing material.
Why is infrared roof inspection particularly beneficial for properties in Huntland?
Huntland’s humid summers and occasional severe storms make local roofs vulnerable to moisture intrusion and wind-driven rain. Traditional visual inspections can miss concealed water pockets that lead to mold growth, structural rot, and energy loss. Infrared technology identifies those issues early, saving Huntland property owners thousands in unexpected repairs. In addition, our scans help verify roof health before a real-estate transaction or insurance claim, giving Huntland buyers and insurers documented proof of a roof’s actual condition.
What kinds of problems can your advanced infrared scans detect?
Our high-resolution cameras and proprietary software detect: • Moisture trapped under membranes, shingles, or built-up roofs • Saturated or missing insulation causing energy loss • Delaminated seams, blisters, and voids in single-ply or modified bitumen systems • Hidden roof leaks around penetrations, skylights, or flashing • Electrical hot spots at rooftop HVAC units or solar arrays • Heat loss paths that increase utility bills. By identifying these issues early, we help owners schedule targeted repairs instead of full reroofs.
Will the infrared inspection damage my roof or disrupt my business?
No. Infrared roof inspections are completely non-destructive and contact-free. Our technicians walk the roof only when safe access is available; otherwise we capture images via drone. Because we do not cut cores or remove shingles, there is zero damage or mess. Most commercial inspections can be performed outside regular business hours, so your operations and occupants experience no interruption.
How long does an inspection take, and what do I receive afterward?
A typical residential roof in Huntland takes about 30–60 minutes to scan; large commercial roofs can range from one to three hours. Within 24–48 hours you receive a comprehensive digital report that includes: thermal and visible-light photos of every anomaly, a detailed explanation of each finding, CAD-ready roof plan overlays, repair recommendations prioritized by urgency, and an estimated cost-avoidance summary. We also review the report with you in person or via video conference to answer any questions.
How often should I schedule an infrared roof inspection?
For most Huntland homes, an infrared inspection every two to three years is sufficient, unless the roof is older than 15 years or has experienced a recent severe weather event. Commercial or industrial facilities with flat roofs, rooftop equipment, or critical inventory benefit from annual scans. Factors such as roof age, membrane type, previous leak history, and insurance requirements can shorten or extend the interval. Our team can develop a customized maintenance schedule that optimizes cost savings and extends the life of your roofing system.
