A basic assessment of the roof’s surface to check for visible damage, such as cracks, leaks, missing shingles, and general wear. It helps identify early signs of deterioration, weather damage, or structural concerns. This inspection is typically done from the ground, a ladder, or by walking the roof when safe access is available.

Uses high-resolution cameras to capture detailed images of hard-to-reach areas for close-up analysis. This method allows inspectors to examine roof damage, cracks, and leaks without requiring direct physical access. It’s an efficient, cost-effective way to document roof conditions, making it useful for planning maintenance and identifying early deterioration signs.

It uses drone technology to capture aerial images and videos of roofs, allowing for a detailed inspection of large or hard-to-access structures. This method eliminates safety risks associated with manual inspections and provides a fast, cost-effective way to identify damage, pooling water, or deteriorating materials. Ideal for commercial, industrial, and high-rise buildings.

Utilizes a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) to access high or difficult-to-reach areas, allowing inspectors to conduct a close-up examination of roof surfaces. This method is useful for detecting small cracks, damaged seams, or material degradation that may not be visible from ground level. It’s ideal for tall buildings or locations with limited rooftop access.

A method that involves extracting a small section of the roof to analyze its layers, insulation, and moisture levels. Core sampling helps assess material integrity, determine water infiltration, and evaluate the need for repairs or replacement. It is commonly used on flat roofs to verify structural conditions and compliance with building regulations.

It uses electronic testing to detect leaks in flat or membrane roofs by identifying breaches in the waterproofing layer. This non-invasive method provides pinpoint accuracy in locating leaks without extensive damage. It is highly effective in preventing costly water damage and is commonly used for commercial and industrial roofing systems.

It uses infrared imaging to detect heat variations across the roof, identifying hidden moisture, insulation issues, and leaks. This non-destructive method is ideal for flat and commercial roofs, revealing problems that are not visible to the naked eye. By detecting trapped moisture early, thermal inspections help prevent structural damage and energy loss.

Moisture scanning is a non-invasive method that detects hidden moisture within roofing systems using infrared or electronic sensors. It helps identify trapped water before visible damage occurs, preventing costly repairs. Ideal for flat and commercial roofs, this technique ensures better insulation, extends roof lifespan, and supports proactive maintenance without damaging the surface.
