Aerial Infrared Inspection Services

Maximize the Life of Your Roof with Infrared Inspection

Are roof repairs and maintenance causing your capital dollars to trickle away? The single largest asset of most facilities is the roof structure. Over time, all roof structures lose their R-Value and begin to leak, resulting in more than $12 billion spent annually on repairs and maintenance.

An Aerial Infrared Roof Inspection is a simple, non-destructive procedure that accurately identifies roof moisture before there are visible signs, structural damage or business interruption. Infrared Inspection is a proactive predictive maintenance solution that can significantly extend the life of a roof and reduce maintenance expenditures. Recently implemented aerial programs by Chevron-Texaco and the Pennsylvania Liquor Authority produced greater than 1,000% ROI.

The Aerial Infrared inspection Process

Predictive Service begins the aerial infrared roof inspection process by flying over the physical target during the daylight hours to ensure the building is in condition for an aerial infrared inspection. The infrared inspection takes place just after dark. This is the time when structures emit the energy (heat) absorbed during the day back into the atmosphere. This infrared roof inspection process allows Predictive Service to capture, with sophisticated aerial infrared inspection equipment, the overall heat pattern in a roof structure. Moisture laden roofing material retains heat longer then dry material. The specific heat signatures and patterns are then analyzed to determine where, if any, moisture is penetrating the structure.

The results of the infrared roof inspection are converted from the infrared spectrum into a customized, blended visual image, for maximum usability. A client's images and inspection data are made available on the Web via Predictive Service’s patented data management software, ViewPoint^®.
