Infrared Testing Services

At CORE Forensics, we provide advanced infrared testing services to assess roof integrity, detect moisture intrusion, and identify insulation deficiencies—all through a non-destructive, efficient process. Using state-of-the-art thermal imaging technology, we help property owners enhance maintenance strategies, prevent costly damage, and extend the lifespan of roofing systems. 

What is Infrared Testing?  

Infrared Testing, also known as thermal imaging, detects temperature variations across a roof’s surface to reveal potential issues like moisture retention, insulation voids, and thermal bridging. By identifying these hidden problems early, property owners can take proactive steps to prevent long-term structural damage.

How Does Infrared Testing Work?  

Our trained technicians use infrared cameras to scan the roof, capturing thermal images that highlight:

     ✔ Moisture Intrusion – Wet insulation retains heat differently than dry materials, creating detectable temperature variations.
     ✔ Insulation Deficiencies – Areas of heat loss reveal gaps in insulation performance.
     ✔ Thermal Bridging – Identifies energy inefficiencies caused by poorly insulated or improperly installed materials.

Important Note: Infrared Testing detects thermal anomalies that may indicate moisture but does not confirm moisture presence. Core sampling or additional testing may be required for verification.

Benefits of Infrared Testing  

Non-Destructive Evaluation 

Unlike invasive inspection methods, Infrared Testing requires no drilling, cutting, or removal of roofing materials, preserving structural integrity while providing a comprehensive assessment of potential issues.

Early Detection of Moisture Intrusion 

By pinpointing moisture intrusion before visible damage occurs, infrared testing helps prevent roof deterioration, mold growth, and costly repairs.

Efficient Problem Identification 

Infrared scanning covers large roof areas quickly, identifying hidden issues that traditional inspections often miss. This allows for targeted repairs and optimized maintenance strategies.

Cost-Effective Maintenance 

Proactively addressing issues based on infrared findings reduces the risk of major repairs or premature roof replacement, ultimately saving property owners time and money.

Applications of Infrared Testing  

     ✔ Leak Detection – Locates sources of water infiltration and moisture accumulation, even in hard-to-reach areas.
     ✔ Insulation Assessment – Evaluates insulation effectiveness and detects heat loss or energy inefficiencies.
     ✔ Quality Assurance – Verifies the integrity of new and existing roofing systems to ensure compliance with industry standards.
     ✔ Preventative Maintenance – Routine inspections help identify and address potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs.
