Infrared technology already has multiple
applications in any certified home inspection in helping you identify problems
in your home. But did you know that IR imaging can also be used in roof
inspections? It is perhaps one of the least invasive and the fastest ways to
survey the state of your rooftop and identify defects in integrity or function
that may warrant attention. Regular rooftop inspections may be limited in scope
and reveal very little information. Without infrared technology, a Toronto home
inspector may be able to assess the health of your rooftop but may not
necessarily be able to uncover the details you need. This is where IR imaging
can come in handy!
Roof failures happen for a number of reasons
from moisture penetration to damp insulation. IR technology is able to
distinguish between differences in temperature very easily. This is especially
useful as damp pockets in your roof will retain heat better than dry areas. As
part of your regular home inspection, IR imaging can then highlight exactly
where your roof is allowing for moisture penetration.
Roof repairs can be a costly business and can
easily end up costing homeowners hundreds of dollars. Keep yourself informed as
to the state of your rooftop as well as your home by investing in a Toronto
home inspection from AllMax. Our home inspectors are leading professionals in
