A leaky roof can be a major annoyance. Beyond the drip, drip, drip that comes from the water making its way through your home’s internal materials until it finds its way out of your ceiling, there are serious issues caused by water damage along the way. Moisture-laden wood will start to warp over time, and can even attract wood-boring insects. Metal can rust, which can cause structural issues. Soaked insulation will not do well at preventing heat transfer. These disastrous consequences from a roof leak are not unavoidable! And, believe it or not, it may not be necessary to repair or replace your entire roof.
Thermal imaging can help you to identify the specific area from where a roof leak originates. As the sun beats down on your roof, areas with moisture trap the heat and retain it for much longer than the rest of your roof. An infrared camera will see those hot spots, and can help you to determine where you should focus your repair efforts.
