Commercial Infrared Roof Moisture Surveys
Before you approve a recover, coating, or tear-off on a Fort Worth commercial roof, find out where the assembly may be holding water. Commercial Roofing Advisors arranges infrared surveys and interprets what the scan and field checks mean for the materials you plan to keep.
Treat each roof assembly as its own survey area
A distribution roof at Alliance Westport can cover several additions. A light-colored membrane over one addition may cool differently from an older assembly beside it, even when both are dry.
We review the roof plan, visible construction changes, roof history, and equipment. That work helps the operator divide the scan into comparable areas instead of reading the entire building against one temperature pattern.
Choose conditions that separate signal from noise
Infrared cameras detect surface temperatures. Wet insulation can produce a different thermal pattern as a roof cools after daytime heating, but surface water, HVAC discharge, shade, and wind can obscure the contrast.
We record the scan conditions and review unusual readings with the operator. Where access and warranty approvals allow, a representative sample or moisture reading can help confirm what caused the pattern.
Use the marked areas to scope the project
The report marks suspected wet areas, verification points, and any zones that could not be interpreted. Owners can compare those boundaries with bid quantities and decide whether the affected areas support selective removal or a broader scope.
Bidders can also use the map to price a defined starting quantity and an agreed unit rate if demolition reveals more moisture. That makes it easier to review a change order later.
