Using New Technology to Locate Roof Leaks

Detecting Dexter Home Roofing Leaks

Roof leaks might seem like simple roof problems, caused by a very simple displacement or damage of one or several roofing components. However, detecting the source of the leak is not always simple – water is a very insidious substance that can find the tiniest holes or gaps and seep through unnoticeably. While some roof issues that lead to leaks might be large and easy to detect, others can be revealed only with the help of special devices.

One of the best and most common modern tools used for locating roof leaks is a device that uses infrared technology to locate elusive roof leaks. The device available for Dexter MI roofing professionals as well as for homeowners works by scanning the roof section or other surface to measure the heat emitted by the surface. Roof leaks appear when the roof surface or the decking material becomes saturated with moisture. Moist components tend to retain heat longer than dry areas, therefore the leaky area will be warmer than the surrounding areas. The device collects roof temperature data, then transforms them into special images that reveal any anomalies. The process should take place in the early evening hours, when the sun has begun to set, on a day when the roof is dry.

Professional, Knowledgeable, and stress free is how I would describe my experience with Roof One. From first call, a representative actually answers the phone with a friendly welcome. Jason was prompt and quick to come out and give a detailed consultation. Antonio’s crew was amazing! Not only were they on time, but a few minutes early. They made sure to walk me through the process and didn’t leave until the job was complete. Scott helped work with my insurance adjuster and went out of his way to make sure I was completely satisfied. Bill and Sandra in the office treated me like family and Steve, the owner, was very kind and welcomed me to the Roof One family. Phenomenal Job Roof One, my family and I couldn’t be happier - Thank you!

From the beginning to the end, Roof one really impressed me regarding their professionalism when roofing my house. In particular Steve and Mark managed this job wonderfully. The crew they sent over did such a wonderful quality job and made sure my property was free of nails and debris. I would definitely hire this company for a roof job. Very straight forward with their prices and options. I was also grateful they hooked up vent fans and provided a gorgeous flashing for my large chimney. Good job guys! Wish there were more contractors like you!
