FAQs
How does your infrared leak-detection technology locate roof leaks in Ten Mile?
Our certified technicians use a high-resolution infrared camera to read the thermal signatures across your roof surface. Water trapped under membranes or shingles retains heat differently than dry insulation, so wet areas appear as contrasting "hot" or "cold" zones on the thermal image. We verify these anomalies with on-roof moisture meters and mark the exact leak points for targeted repairs—without destructive test cuts.
What kinds of roofs can you scan with infrared?
Infrared scanning is effective on most low-slope and steep-slope systems found in Ten Mile, including single-ply membranes (TPO, EPDM, PVC), modified bitumen, built-up roofs, metal panels, asphalt shingles, and even spray-foam roofs. The key is having access to the roof surface and performing the scan when a temperature differential (usually evening or early morning) exists between wet and dry areas.
Is an infrared inspection safe for my roof and occupants?
Yes. Infrared thermography is completely non-contact and non-invasive. We never puncture your roof covering, and the camera emits no radiation—it merely reads the natural infrared energy every object gives off. Occupants inside the building feel no effects, and there is zero risk to roofing materials, HVAC units, or electrical systems.
How long will the inspection and roof repair process take?
A typical residential roof in Ten Mile can be scanned in 30–60 minutes; mid-size commercial roofs take 1–3 hours. We deliver a digital report with annotated thermal images within 24 hours. Because we’ve pinpointed leak locations, repairs are localized and usually completed the same day for homes and within 1–2 days for most commercial facilities—minimizing downtime and cost.
Will the infrared survey disrupt my household or business operations?
Disruption is minimal. We prefer to scan shortly after sunset or at sunrise, so you may not even notice us. For commercial buildings, we coordinate access and safety plans in advance to avoid affecting production lines or customer areas. No interior access is needed unless you request an attic scan or ceiling moisture verification.
How much does an infrared roof inspection cost, and is it worth it?
For most homes in Ten Mile, prices start around $275; commercial roofs are quoted by square footage, typically $0.08–$0.15 per sq ft. By isolating leak areas, infrared prevents unnecessary tear-offs, saving hundreds to thousands of dollars in materials and labor. Many insurance carriers accept our thermal report as documentation, which can help with claims and extend roof life by 5–10 years through targeted maintenance.
