FLIR Thermal Building Drone Inspections

Using infrared roof thermography to detect trapped moisture troubles in flat roofs is a proven approach. Infrared roof thermography may help building owners and property management firms locate roof issues when leaky roofs in apartments below result in production losses and equipment downtime. Infrared roof surveys are important for detecting roof troubles, developing maintenance plans, and making informed choices concerning roof upgrades, replacements, and resurfacing with one of the popular new roof coatings. Infrared roof surveys can detect roof issues that have serious consequences and may save money on repairs.
The world’s largest thermal imaging equipment manufacturer, FLIR Systems, is the camera we utilize on our drone. The purpose is to look for trapped moisture under roofing membranes after sunset. As the roof’s surface heats up throughout the day, trapped water will stay warm, allowing us to see it easily with our drone thermal imaging after sunset. When the sun goes down, the roof’s surface will cool down, but the water will keep its heat, allowing us to see it with our drone thermal imaging. These areas of moisture are then inspected for future repairs.
