INFRARED ROOF INSPECTIONS Because Roofs Leak! Very few roofs survive harsh winters or the rigors of all the elements.Fortunately, TrendFormers Inc. Thermography Team can detect and isolate areas of a roof that are prone to leak. The key to a good roof inspection is timing, and a little help from Mother Nature. An optimal scan of a roof should be conducted in the evening, after solarloading (sunshine) has past. There should be a light breeze (usually on roofs this is not a problem) and a few days should pass since the last good rain. What is good rain? It is the opposite of bad rain or pooling rain. In other words the roof surface should appear dry. Standing water will detract from the precision of the inspection. With an Infrared Camera and a can of paint TrendFormers Inc. will asses your facility roof for water damage and possible leak locations. The water, having a different thermal capacitance (or the ability to hold heat) than the roof surface will rear its hidden streams and lakes. These areas are brought to your attention, arming you with the information you need to begin your roof work. In many instances, instead of spending hudreds of thousands (sometimes million$) of dollars, the repair work can be a fraction of the total cost. The cost of the TrendFormers Inc. Infrared Scan will pay for itself in the savings. |
