Infrared Roof Survey in Richmond

Infrared roof surveys identify trapped moisture in low-slope insulation, long before the leak appears on the interior. The work is best done at the right time of day — late afternoon into evening — when dry insulation cools faster than wet, producing a clear thermal contrast. We deliver these for capital planning, due-diligence assessments and pre-replacement scoping on commercial, institutional and multi-family buildings across Greater Vancouver.

What rain leak detection typically finds in Richmond

Flat-roof moisture investigations on numerous big-box and warehouse properties, tower mechanical-room failures.

Richmond's built environment — low-rise wood-frame condos, single-family on small lots, City Centre high-rises, agricultural in east Richmond — shapes how infrared roof survey is delivered locally. Richmond sits at 1 m above sea level on the Fraser delta. The high water table makes slab leaks and basement seepage common, and the dyke-protected drainage system means stormwater issues quickly become structural ones. Construction is largely 1980s–2000s with growing concrete-tower density in City Centre.
