Infrared Roof Inspections

Commercial Roof Infrared Inspections in Birmingham, AL

Thermal Imaging to Help Locate Suspected Roof Moisture

Flat and low-slope roofs can hold moisture beneath the surface. Infrared imaging helps identify areas worth investigating before you buy or lease.

Commercial roofs are among the largest repair expenses on a property, and trapped moisture is not always visible from the surface. Our infrared thermography credentials allow us to use thermal imaging alongside a visual roof inspection to help identify temperature patterns that may indicate wet insulation. Findings are documented so you can decide whether further testing is warranted.

What We Inspect

✓

Thermal Imaging Survey

Infrared scan of accessible roof areas under suitable weather and temperature conditions to look for patterns consistent with moisture.

✓

Visual Roof Inspection

Membrane or panel condition, seams, ponding, blistering, punctures and wear.

✓

Flashing and Penetrations

Parapets, curbs, drains, vents and HVAC curb connections.

✓

Drainage

Drains, scuppers, gutters, slope and signs of standing water.

✓

Photo Documentation

Paired thermal and visible images of areas of interest.

✓

Recommended Follow-Up

Where thermal patterns suggest moisture, we recommend confirmation methods such as core samples or moisture probes by a roofing professional.

Find Out Before the Roof Becomes Your Problem

Wet insulation can shorten roof life and lead to leaks, mold and interior damage, and replacement costs on large roofs can be substantial. Infrared imaging is a screening tool, not a guarantee. Results depend on roof type and weather, and suspected areas should be confirmed by physical testing. Used together with a visual inspection, it gives buyers, tenants and owners better information for negotiation and planning.

We inspect the roof visually and scan with an infrared camera under appropriate conditions.

Report with Images

You receive paired thermal and visible photos, observations and recommended next steps.

Plan Follow-Up Testing

If areas of concern are found, we help you understand what to confirm before negotiating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a commercial inspection cost?

Commercial pricing varies with the size of the property and the scope of work involved, so we quote each job individually. Call 205-260-9997 with the address, size and type of property for a quote.

How soon will I receive the commercial report?

Commercial inspection reports are delivered within 48 hours at the latest.

What does an infrared roof scan show?

It shows surface temperature differences that can indicate areas where wet insulation holds heat differently than dry areas. It is a screening tool and does not by itself prove moisture.

What roofs can be scanned?

Infrared is most useful on low-slope and flat roofs with insulation, such as many commercial buildings. Call 205-260-9997 to confirm whether your roof is a good candidate.

Does weather matter?

Yes. Surveys work best under specific temperature and sun conditions, so scheduling may depend on the forecast.

Is this combined with a regular roof inspection?

Yes. Thermal imaging is paired with a visual inspection of the roof surface, flashing and drainage.

How do I confirm suspected moisture?

A roofing professional can verify suspected areas with core samples or moisture probes. We document locations to make that targeted.
