Infrared Moisture Analysis

See What Your Roof Is Hiding — Before It Becomes a Problem

Even the best-looking commercial roofs can be hiding moisture beneath the surface — slowly degrading insulation, corroding metal decks, and setting the stage for leaks and mold. That’s why we offer infrared moisture analysis as part of our roofing maintenance and diagnostic services.

Using advanced thermal imaging, we can detect trapped water inside your roofing system without cutting, drilling, or damaging the roof. It’s fast, non-invasive, and critical for making informed maintenance or replacement decisions.

What Is Infrared Roof Scanning?

Infrared roof scanning uses thermal imaging cameras to detect differences in heat retention across your roof. Wet insulation and saturated materials retain heat differently than dry areas — revealing hidden moisture without opening up the system.

Key Uses:

  • Identify moisture intrusion beneath membranes
  • Detect failed seams, flashings, or ponding damage
  • Prioritize repair areas on large roof systems
  • Provide proof of condition for insurance or budgeting

Why Moisture Detection Matters

Trapped moisture ruins insulation

and dramatically increases energy costs

Undetected leaks

lead to structural rot, corrosion, and mold

Saturated roofs fail sooner

even if they look fine from the surface

Warranties may be voided

if water infiltration goes unaddressed

When to Schedule an Infrared Scan

During routine preventative maintenance (annually or biannually)

Before purchasing or leasing a commercial building

When planning for roof replacement budgeting

After major storms or weather events

If you suspect a leak but can’t find the source

What You’ll Receive

  • On-site thermal imaging scan
  • Marked roof plan with moisture indicators
  • Photo report showing heat anomalies
  • Recommendations for next steps (repair, further testing, etc.)

This scan can also be integrated into your larger Preventative Maintenance Program or Lifecycle Cost Plan for better forecasting.

Compatible Roofing Systems

Infrared moisture analysis works best on:

TPO, EPDM, and PVC single-ply systems
Modified Bitumen
Built-Up Roofing (BUR)
Coated roofing systems
Standing seam with internal insulation (in select cases)

Take the Guesswork Out of Roof Health

If your roof is holding water, we’ll find it. Schedule an infrared scan today and make smarter, data-backed decisions for your building.
