No single testing method provides a complete picture of roof condition. The most accurate and defensible moisture surveys use both infrared thermal imaging and Tramex impedance scanning.
How the Two Methods Complement Each Other
Infrared scanning:
- Quickly identifies thermal anomalies
- Covers large roof areas efficiently
- Highlights suspected moisture zones
Impedance scanning:
- Confirms the presence of moisture
- Maps exact moisture boundaries
- Works in conditions where infrared cannot
When used together, these methods reduce false positives and eliminate uncertainty.
Why Defensible Data Matters
Defensible moisture surveys are critical for:
- Property transactions
- Insurance documentation
- Engineering evaluations
- Contractor repair scopes
- Capital planning
Clear, corroborated data protects owners from disputes and ensures informed decision-making.
