Flat Roof Infared Moisture Surveys in Northern Virginia
Northern Virginians are faced with extreme fluctuations in weather conditions that take a toll on the integrity of the materials used to construct a home or commercial building. An excessive build up of moisture inside ceilings and walls is one of the most destructive after-effects of the natural elements in this area of the U.S. 
Buildings with a flat roof are highly susceptible to water damage, but fortunately infrared moisture surveys can be conducted by a roofing company to detect problems long before they become serious issues.
Flat roofs are not forgiving when there is an accumulation of water from rain or melting ice and snow. Water accumulates in puddles on low spots on the roof, whereas it tends to run off a sloped roof and be carried away in the gutters.
It may leak to an extent through punctures in the roofing material but on a flat, roof puddles of water continue to seep under the roofing material until they are gone. Some of the water will evaporate, but if the roof has been damaged most of it will end up where it will do the most destruction.
One of the most difficult challenges Northern Virginia roofing companies face when searching for water damage in a flat roof is the direction of water flow under the roofing material. It can be relatively easy to see bubbles, cracks around the flashing and seams or a puncture in the roof, but once the water makes its way inside the roof, it could travel in almost any direction away from its entry point.
By the time water damage becomes evident on the inside of the building, there is no telling what has transpired between the time it entered the roof and reached the inner structure.
Infrared moisture surveys are used to identify thermal variations caused by water collecting inside the roof. A roofer can see precisely where the water penetrated the roof and track the pathway it took through the inner structure of the building.
This can save property owners in Northern Virginia thousands of dollars since the immediate damage can be repaired before mildew and black mold develop and spread like wildfire. In some cases it can take a year before the evidence of a leak shows up inside a building and in the duration black mold can destroy huge sections of the roof, walls and ceilings.
