Pinpoint hidden moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, and energy loss with professional infrared roof scanning — no destructive testing required.
Bakersfield Expert Roofing offers professional roof thermal imaging inspections in Bakersfield, CA with over 20 years of experience handling residential and commercial roofing projects.
Standard visual inspections miss the majority of roof problems because moisture damage, insulation voids, and air leakage occur beneath the surface. Our FLIR-equipped thermal cameras detect temperature differentials across your roof assembly that reveal trapped moisture, compressed or missing insulation, and active leak paths invisible to the naked eye. Thermal imaging is non-invasive, covers large roof areas quickly, and produces objective data that eliminates guesswork from repair planning and budget allocation.
Wet insulation and saturated decking retain heat differently than dry materials, creating clear thermal signatures on infrared scans. We identify the exact boundaries of moisture-affected areas so repairs target only compromised sections — no unnecessary tear-off of functional roofing.
STEP 1
Thermal scans require specific conditions for accurate results. We schedule inspections during optimal temperature differentials — typically early morning or after sunset — and verify wind speeds and cloud cover are within acceptable parameters.
STEP 2
We systematically scan your entire roof surface with calibrated FLIR cameras, capturing both wide-angle overview images and targeted close-ups of anomalous thermal signatures. Interior attic scans are performed when accessible to corroborate exterior findings.
STEP 3
You receive a detailed report with annotated thermal images, moisture probability maps, and prioritized repair recommendations. Reports include standard photography cross-referenced with infrared data for clear documentation.
Thermal imaging reveals insulation gaps, thermal bridging at framing members, and air leakage points that drive up cooling and heating costs. We deliver annotated thermal maps showing exactly where energy is being lost so you can prioritize upgrades with measurable ROI.
Professional-grade FLIR thermal cameras with resolution and sensitivity calibrated specifically for building envelope analysis.
Every scan includes both exterior roof surface imaging and interior attic verification for complete moisture mapping.
Thermal reports are formatted for insurance documentation, warranty claims, and contractor bid specifications.
Non-destructive scanning covers your entire roof area in a single visit — no core cuts, no probes, no damage to existing materials.
Thermal imaging highlights abnormal heat signatures that can indicate trapped moisture, insulation gaps, and hidden failure zones not visible in standard visual inspections.
Yes. It is valuable on residential and commercial roofs, especially where leak origin is unclear or large low-slope areas make visual diagnosis difficult.
Yes. We provide image-backed findings with location notes and practical recommendations for targeted repair, maintenance, or further testing.
