Infrared Roof Inspections
Insulation Moisture | Leak Location with Vector Mapping & Image Validation
Infrared Moisture Inspection
- NIGHT and DAYTIME imaging as
the project requires - Armco TEAMWORK with the Roofing
Professional - MID-WAVE cameras for REFLECTIVE
or other difficult surfaces - Large project AERIAL SURVEYS
- Core and meter Imaging
Confirmation - BUR, Mod-bit, SMR and Thermoplastic
non-ballasted membranes with
coatings, overlays and varied insulation
Leak Location
- High-slope ROOF: Infrared
Imaging of attic/interior with
meter confirmation - LOW SLOPE WET ROOF: VECTOR
MAPPING for Modified Bitumen,
Gravel coated or smooth BUR,
TPO-PVC and Vegetated or Ballasted
and non-conductive membranes - Low Slope Dry Roof: High
voltage pinhole location for TPO,
PVC or other non conductive membranes.
New roofs:
- Quality control for work
in progress - Basis for damage/leakage
disputes with other trades - Validation of completed work
- Manufacturer warranty validation
- New owner confidence and referral

Existing roofs:
- Cost effective and precise sectional replacements of low-slope roofing from wet area discovery, on-roof highlighting and near-scale area drawings
- Improved repair-replace decisions from reliable moisture percentage assessment
- Minimized cost of manufacturer specified prep prior to overlay or membrane coating
- Leak location for pitched or low-slope installations
Installation Quality and New Roof Validation
Newly installed or installation-in-process roofs may also have moisture issues that need attention. Our Q/C scans of new roofs provide a benchmark and validation for the roof membrane manufacturer as well as the building owner, facility manager and roofing contractor.
Aerial Surveys for Large/Complex Roof Surfaces
Some roof assemblies require a different approach – a view from the air. Armco Roofscan provides Aerial Infrared Imaging services through the AITSCAN division of our National RoofscanIR Network.
Flat & Sloped Roof Leak Inspection
For New Roof Systems:
- Validation of good condition for new roof installations in process
- Validation of roof condition for Installer, GC and Manufacturer Warranties
- New roof performance baselines for future infrared evaluations
For Existing Roof Systems:
- Roof refurbishment coatings or overlays with minimum trapped moisture
- Manufacturer warranty validation for refurbishment coatings or overlays
- Reliable information for confident repair or replace decisions
- Leak damage possibility to furnishings or finishes minimized
- Reliable evidence for litigation efforts
