Handheld Infrared Cameras

A handheld infrared camera reads surface temperature differences across a roof deck, ceiling, or wall, showing where moisture is sitting under materials that look dry to the eye. On a leak call, that's often the fastest way to trace water back from a stain or drip to the actual point of entry, rather than guessing from the outside.

How the scan is used

Interior and exterior passes — Scanning from inside the attic or ceiling and from the roof surface itself helps narrow down where water is entering versus where it's simply traveled.
Paired with moisture meters — Once the camera flags a suspect area, moisture meters give a direct reading through decking or insulation to confirm how far the water has spread.
Followed by documentation — Findings are recorded with time-stamped photos, so the trail from suspected leak to confirmed entry point is on record for you.

When homeowners ask for it

Recurring ceiling stains — When a spot keeps returning and the source isn't obvious from the attic.
Pre-purchase or post-storm checks — Confirming a roof is dry underneath, not just intact on top.
