Maintenance and Diagnostics
Regular inspections should be carried out methodically at regular intervals to detect for any defects. The instruments can be used extensively to diagnose of the defects and to take the action to keep the structure in good condition. The following high-tech instruments and techniques can be used to diagnose leakages on roof.
Diagnostics of Defect
Thermography
Thermography can be used to identify the position of water leakages on roof. The method is based on the characteristics of heat flow phenomenon, in a conductive medium of specific geometry, which is intended to model predetermined boundary conditions. Thermo tracer is a advanced equipment used in thermography technology.
- Flat Roof Inspection
Flat roof inspection is the most common form of infrared roof inspection. Many roofs need to be replaced prematurely due to moisture damage from leaks and improper installation. Infrared thermography has a proven track record in finding damaged portions of roofing structure so they can be repaired before water damage rots your whole roof. Thermography is a non-contact testing method, don’t let anyone drill holes in your roof to test for damage.
