FAQs
How does thermal imaging help detect storm damage on my roof?
Thermal imaging cameras sense temperature variations across the roof surface. After a storm, wet or damaged areas retain heat differently than intact, dry sections. By capturing these temperature patterns, our certified technicians can pinpoint hidden moisture, lifted shingles, lost insulation, and membrane punctures without removing any materials or walking extensively on the roof.
What kinds of problems can thermal imaging identify that a visual inspection might miss?
Beyond obvious missing shingles or dents, thermal scans reveal trapped moisture under shingles, ponding water in flat-roof systems, compromised insulation, deteriorated flashing, and small punctures from hail or debris. Because these issues are subsurface, they often go undetected until leaks appear—thermal imaging lets us address them early and prevent costly interior damage.
Is thermal imaging safe for my roof and my household?
Yes. The technology is completely non-invasive. The camera simply reads the infrared radiation naturally emitted by your roof; no radiation or heat is projected onto the building. Inspections are performed from the roof surface, ladder, or drone, so there’s minimal foot traffic on the shingles, and no disruption to occupants inside.
How soon after a storm in Seymour should I schedule a thermal roof scan?
We recommend booking an inspection within 24–72 hours of a severe wind or hail event. During this window, moisture signatures are most pronounced, yet shingles have not fully dried, giving us the clearest thermal contrast. If you notice interior leaks or ceiling stains sooner, call immediately—early detection limits structural and mold damage.
Will the thermal imaging report help with my insurance claim?
Absolutely. Our detailed report includes high-resolution thermal photos, annotated problem areas, and a written assessment that correlates damage to the recent storm. Adjusters appreciate objective infrared evidence, which can speed approval and ensure you receive adequate funds for repairs or a full roof replacement.
What does a thermal imaging roof inspection cost in Seymour, and is there a warranty?
For most residential roofs up to 3,000 sq ft, our standard post-storm thermal scan is $295, which includes the on-site assessment and digital report delivered within 24 hours. Larger or commercial roofs are priced per square foot. If you hire us to complete the recommended repairs, we credit the inspection fee toward the project and back the repaired areas with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
