Some roof problems aren’t obvious during a routine inspection. Sometimes water remains under roofing materials for weeks (and even months) without showing any signs on the inside of a building. Any time there is a stain or damp spot, damage has already been done.

This is why numerous property owners are opting for thermal imaging surveys for earlier detection of moisture and heat loss. Thermal technology has the ability to assist in the detection of any abnormal surface temperature changes on roof surfaces, which may be indications of trapped moisture, insufficient insulation or developing leakage that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Thermal drone inspections are quicker and much less disruptive for larger sites. The assessment of warehouses, office buildings and industrial properties can be conducted without excessive scaffolding or access to hard-to-reach areas on the roof. It’s a practical option for routine checks, maintenance planning, or investigating ongoing property concerns.

We also carry out thermal imaging leak detection where recurring water ingress has become difficult to trace through standard inspections alone. Findings are explained clearly, with supporting images that make the condition of the roof easier to understand.

Above Ground Surveys provides straightforward thermal inspection services that help property owners uncover hidden roofing and moisture issues before they turn into larger and more expensive repair problems.
