Aerial Roof Moisture Surveys

Florida Infrared Services Aerial Thermographers can fly over your building and in seconds record digital infrared imagery of your roof.  Upon returning to our offices, we can put together an Aerial Infrared Roof Moisture Survey and you will start to take charge of your roof. These high-quality reports are tailored to your specific needs.

At night, areas of roof moisture are warmer, because the latent heat (from daylight sunshine) in the trapped water mass is warmer than in the dry, functioning insulation or roof substrate. After sunset, when the roof’s structure cools down, wet areas of roof insulation and other materials continue to radiate heat, allowing our sensitive infrared cameras to detect the sources of heat and record them for later analysis.

High-resolution, full-time recording and digital imagery make the difference. The cameras we use for aerial infrared have four (4) times the resolution of a modern focal plane array camera, which are used for checking electrical switchgear and for on-roof surveying.

All Aerial Infrared Surveys Include The Following Components:

1. Edited Videotape—Edited videotape can be made from the original digital video and copied onto VHS.

2. Printed thermographs—Infrared thermographs (infrared pictures) of the individual roof sections can be printed in high-resolution.

3. Aerial photographs—Photographs of the roof (straight-down) and building site (low-angle) can be printed high-resolution.

4. AutoCADdrawings—AutoCADÔdrawings can be printed and saved to disk. Drawings are made by analyzing all the infrared, photographic and drawing information.

5. Digital report—A quantitative infrared roof moisture survey report would include all of the above, printed in high-resolution and saved to a CD, put on the Internet with a password to access, and/or e-mailed to all parties.
