Infrared Surveys by Certified Thermographers
A visual inspection cannot accurately identify moisture below the roof surface. A non-destructive infrared commercial roof survey is the perfect tool to detect moisture intrusion, damaged insulation, and/or other subsurface anomalies below the roof mat.

Infrared Survey Case Study
Client: Chanel, Inc.
Location: Piscataway, NJ
Roof Type: EPDM (Rubber Roofing Membrane)
Roof Age: 15 Years
Roof Problems: Wet insulation. Some rusted deck. Limited capital budget.
Project Challenges: Before contacting Roofing Dynamics, the client received estimates for complete reroofing at the cost of $3 million by a well-known national roofing company. Estimates from additional roofing contractors recommended complete tear-offs and were wide-ranging in scope and cost.
Results: Through an Infrared Commercial Roof Inspection, Roofing Dynamics was able to identify areas of wet roofing as well as bad decking for spot replacement. Most of the dry insulation was saved and the wet insulation was removed and replaced. Roofing Dynamics saved the client from a complete tear-off as well as over $1 million on their roofing project.

Infrared Survey Thermograms
This series of infrared thermograms present an interesting example of how infrared examinations can be used to retain existing roofing and insulation while helping a building owner to remain in code and save money at the same time.
