FAQs
What is thermal imaging roofing inspection and why is it important?
A thermal imaging roofing inspection uses infrared cameras to measure surface temperature variations across your roof. Warm or cool spots reveal hidden moisture, missing insulation, trapped heat, or air leaks. By identifying these issues early, Reliance can recommend targeted repairs that prevent costly water damage, reduce energy loss, and extend the service life of your roofing system.
How does Reliance conduct thermal imaging roof scans?
Our certified technicians perform a non-invasive survey either on foot or with drone-mounted infrared cameras. We capture high-resolution thermal images during optimal conditions—typically right after sunset when the roof is releasing stored heat. The images are analyzed with professional software to create a detailed report that pinpoints anomalies, estimates moisture boundaries, and grades the overall condition of the roof."
What types of roofing problems can thermal imaging detect?
Thermal imaging can uncover moisture beneath membranes, deteriorated insulation, ponding water, failed flashings, delaminated seams, heat-loss paths, and even pest nests. Because infrared identifies temperature differences rather than relying on visual cues alone, it reveals hidden problems without destructive testing.
Is thermal imaging safe for my roof and building occupants?
Yes. Infrared scanning is a passive, non-contact technology that simply records emitted heat; it does not introduce radiation or any physical load to the roof. The process is quiet, unobtrusive, and safe for occupants, equipment, and roofing materials.
When is the best time to schedule a thermal imaging roof inspection?
Ideally, schedule scans during spring or fall when day-night temperature swings are greatest and the roof has time to absorb solar heat. Inspections should be performed at least once a year, after severe weather events, or prior to warranty expiration to document baseline conditions and catch issues early.
How much does a thermal imaging roofing service cost and what does the quote include?
Pricing depends on roof size, complexity, and access requirements. Most commercial flat roofs range between $0.10 and $0.25 per square foot. Your quote includes on-site thermal scanning, high-definition imagery, a comprehensive findings report with annotated photos, recommended corrective actions, and a consultation to discuss results and next steps. Investing in thermal imaging often pays for itself by preventing even a single leak-related repair.
