If you’ve had the unfortunate displeasure of dealing with a leaky roof, you know how irritating it can be to repair the damage. Either you find one spot on the roof that you think is causing the problem and it turns out to be a different spot entirely, or you wind up replacing the entire roof in an effort to fix the problem. Is it possible that there’s an easier way to find the source of roof leaks? Yes!
An infrared camera might be able to help. In the hands of a trained professional, an infrared camera can detect hot spots on your roof. The reason that these hot spots show up is that the moisture is trapped in the area of the leak, and it takes longer for sunlight to dry up the moisture. It retains the heat and becomes easy to spot, thanks to thermal imaging. Properly identifying the source of the roof leak will help you make better decisions.
