Check on Roofs

Modern commercial roof inspections go beyond basic visual checks.

Advanced detection methods now include:

Infrared thermography: Detects temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture or leaks without disturbing the roof surface.

Electronic Leak Detection (ELD): Applies a low-voltage charge to identify even small breaches in the waterproof membrane, accurately pinpointing leaks invisible to the naked eye.

Moisture scanning and sensors: Specialized tools measure moisture levels beneath the roofing material, spotting problems early before leaks become visible.

Water or flood testing: Simulates heavy rain to check the roof's ability to shed water without leaking.

Manual inspections: An experienced inspector checks seams, flashing, membranes, and drainage points for visible issues or weaknesses, supplementing high-tech methods.

These inspections are particularly vital for flat and low-slope commercial roofs, where leaks are harder to detect and water can pool, increasing the risk of intrusion. Regular, tech-assisted roof inspections not only detect and address leaks promptly but also help maintain warranty compliance and protect the significant investment in commercial roofing systems.

A proactive approach combining advanced leak detection technologies with routine physical inspections is the best way to ensure commercial roofs remain watertight, protect business operations, and save on long-term repair costs.
