Commercial Infrared Roof Moisture Surveys
An infrared survey can help distinguish isolated suspect areas from more extensive moisture on an eligible roof. At a Great Southwest Industrial District property, start by separating the original roof and expansions on the survey plan. Different materials and insulation can respond differently, even across sections that appear continuous from above.
Choose a survey window suited to the assembly
Confirm the roof construction, surface condition, and proposed survey weather with the provider. Note shaded areas, rooftop equipment discharge, and wet surfaces that can complicate interpretation. Coordinate after-hours access with the facilities lead where the selected method calls for it.
Verify anomalies before assigning a quantity
Record thermal anomalies on the roof plan and select representative locations for suitable confirmation where permitted. Include comparison locations and document any areas that could not be verified. The final scope should show how confirmed findings affected a localized removal, restoration, or replacement decision.
Show where the survey supports the owner's next step
Provide a plan that distinguishes inspected areas, interpreted anomalies, and confirmed materials. Areas over equipment or roof features may have unreadable thermal patterns. Mark those limits before the owner uses the report to quote work, and explain which observations support any proposed follow-up checks.
