Thermal Roof Inspection

 
 
 
 
 

Your roof protects your assets. Protect your investment by detecting potential leaks and problem areas. Make the best repair or replacement decision with an aerial infrared roof scan.

 

Why Aerial Thermal Imaging

Safety

  • In 2018 the roofing industry’s death rate was 51.5 per 100,000 making it one of the most dangerous professions.

  • The Occupational Injuries (National Census of Fatal Occupational Injury) report shows that roofers accounted for the third highest occupation of fatal injury rates (per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers).

  • The traditional method of thermal inspection is to walk the roof with handheld thermal cameras. Thermal inspections are completed after the sun has set. This increases risk to the workers. An aerial thermal inspection requires no access to the roof until potential problematic areas are identified that need further investigation during daylight hours.

  • A fall from a roof will result in the death of the worker 81% of the time and completing these inspections at night can only serve to make them more of a liability.

Efficiency

  • A walked thermal inspection cannot produce the entire roof in a single image.

    • An aerial thermal image can capture the entire roof and make it easier to pinpoint problem areas.

  • A walked thermal inspection can take days on larger roofs and multiple roofs/buildings and result in increased expense and manpower hours.

    • An aerial thermal inspection can be completed in a fraction of the time resulting in cost savings and projects starting sooner.

  • Infrared roof inspections can help roofing contractors by pinpointing wet, failed areas of a roof. Repairing damaged areas is cheaper and faster than roof replacement.

Value of Aerial Roof Thermal Imaging

  • 95+% of all roofing materials that are removed are dry.

  • Avoid costly tear-off expense in materials & labor and time to R&R dry insulation.

  • Avoid cost to haul perfectly good insulation to the landfill.

  • Save time as recovery is faster vs tear-off and replacement

  • Minimize risk of leaks and consequential damage.

  • It is “Green” not to throw away perfectly good roof materials.



 

Florida weather can be unforgiving - hurricanes, hail storms, summer thunder storms. These are but a few of the many weather events that can potentially cause damage to your roof integrity. Cynosure Aerial can offer an aerial infrared roof inspection by our ITC/Flir Level 1 Certified Infrared Thermographers that will allow you to pinpoint leaks and other potential problem areas so you can make the decision to replace or repair. Accurate information can help to plan and budget for immediate maintenance, short term repairs, or roof replacement.
