Thermal Imaging Inspection
Moisture detection and insulation assessment
Infrared Moisture Detection Before Deck Installation
Trapped moisture beneath roofing membranes creates invisible problems that surface after your new deck is installed. Wet insulation loses thermal efficiency, accelerates membrane deterioration, and promotes mold growth—issues that require tearing up finished decking to address. Our infrared roof moisture surveys identify these hidden conditions before construction begins, when repairs are straightforward and affordable.
Thermal imaging exploits the physics of evaporative cooling and heat retention. We scan roofs in evening hours after the surface has absorbed daytime solar energy. Wet insulation retains and releases heat differently than dry material, creating distinct temperature patterns our infrared cameras detect. This non-destructive technology maps moisture conditions across your entire roof without cutting test openings.
The survey results show exactly where moisture exists, often identifying which layer of the roof system contains water. You receive thermal images with analysis, moisture maps marking affected areas, and specific recommendations for remediation. Addressing wet sections before deck construction protects your investment and ensures the roofing system beneath performs for decades.
