FAQs
What is infrared moisture scanning and how does it benefit my roof or siding?
Infrared moisture scanning uses a high-resolution thermal imaging camera to detect temperature differences across your roof or siding. Wet areas retain heat longer than dry areas, creating a visible thermal signature that pinpoints trapped moisture without cutting or drilling. This lets us locate leaks early, prevent hidden rot, and plan targeted repairs, saving you money and extending the life of your building envelope.
Why is moisture detection especially important in Mountain City’s climate?
Mountain City experiences wide temperature swings, intense summer UV exposure, and periods of heavy rain and snow melt. These conditions cause roofing and siding materials to expand, contract, and accumulate condensation. Undetected moisture can quickly lead to mold, insulation damage, and structural decay. Regular infrared scans provide an early-warning system tailored to our local weather patterns and altitude-related UV levels.
How accurate is your infrared scanning technology?
We use industrial-grade FLIR and Testo cameras capable of detecting temperature differences as small as 0.05 °C. Combined with on-site moisture meter readings, our scans locate wet insulation or sheathing within ±1–2 sq ft. All technicians are ITC-certified Level II thermographers, so the data you receive is both precise and professionally interpreted.
Will the scan interrupt my home or business operations?
No. An infrared scan is non-invasive and silent. For most residential roofs we finish in 45–60 minutes; small commercial buildings may take 1–2 hours. We work from the roof surface or ground with handheld equipment, so occupants can remain inside without disruption to daily activities or productivity.
What happens if you find moisture in my roof or siding?
You receive a detailed report with thermal images, exact moisture locations, and severity ratings. Our technicians will explain whether spot repairs, partial replacement, or full restoration is recommended. Because we also provide licensed roofing and siding services in Mountain City, we can give you an on-the-spot estimate and schedule repairs right away, minimizing further damage and downtime.
How often should I schedule an infrared moisture scan and what does it cost?
For Mountain City properties we recommend an annual scan after the spring thaw or heavy summer storms. Older roofs (15 years+) or buildings with a history of leaks may benefit from semi-annual checks. Pricing starts at $249 for single-family homes up to 3,000 sq ft and scales by square footage for larger or multi-story structures. Preventive scans cost a fraction of major water-damage repairs, making them a smart investment for long-term property health.
