Leak Investigation and Testing

Flat Roofs are Everywhere. Most Commercial, Institutional, and Industrial Roofs are Flat Roofs

Millions of square feet of flat roof are installed each year. Flat roofs are expensive to install and replacement roofs are usually more expensive when disposal costs of the old roof are included.

Flat Roof Leak Detection

Roofs are often ignored as part of the building maintenance plan. The roof only gets attention when it makes itself known, and the only time that happens is when it leaks. Forty-five percent (45%) of all new roofs develop serious problems within one year of installation. The National Roofing Contractors Association estimates that the sources of the problems are due to:

50%

Poor workmanship

20%

Poor design

15%

Poor maintenance

10%

Material failures

Taking smart action with infrared thermography

Infrared Technology

By using thermography for our roof inspections, we’re able to see behind the coverings and detect issues with airtightness or thermal efficiency in a way that’s nondestructive and noninvasive. Infrared thermography helps our experts identify a variety of anomalies, including:

Air Infiltration
Heat Loss due to Defective Insulation
Condensation in a Wall
Leaks in a Heating System Concealed in a Concrete Slab
