Building thermography in Montreal —
roof and envelope
Detect the invisible. Infiltrations, thermal bridges, deficient insulation — before it gets costly.
Schedule a thermographic surveyThe most costly defects can't be seen with the naked eye.
The most costly problems are invisible to the naked eye. Infiltration under the membrane, air leaks, missing insulation — you can't see them, but you pay for them. Thermography lets you visualize these hidden problems before they become financial disasters.

Detecting moisture with thermography
Water trapped in the insulation changes its surface temperature. Captured by drone, the thermal camera reveals these differences invisible to the eye and maps their exact extent, allowing a targeted repair rather than replacing the entire roof.
Survey performed according to the practice ASTM C1153, the infrared imaging standard for locating trapped moisture in roofing systems.

Seeing the invisible: what thermography reveals about a building
The principle
A thermal camera makes visible what the eye cannot perceive: temperature differences on a building's surface reveal what's hiding behind the finishes, heat loss, infiltrations, insulation defects, moisture.
What thermography detects
Thermal bridges and heat loss, air and water infiltration, missing, shifted, or wet insulation, and system anomalies. All costly problems that remain invisible during a standard visual inspection. Thermography is a non-destructive analysis method: no wall openings. Its reliability depends on measurement conditions, notably a sufficient temperature difference between inside and outside, which we validate before intervening.
A strategic tool for a property portfolio
Beyond one-off diagnostics, thermography helps target and prioritize interventions across a building or a portfolio: document condition before work, verify execution quality after, and focus the budget where the gain is real.

FAQ
Roof thermography is ideal before buying a building, before roof repair or replacement work, or when you suspect infiltration problems. It lets you precisely identify problem areas.
There's no strict minimum area, but thermography becomes particularly cost-effective for roofs over 500 m². For smaller surfaces, a traditional visual inspection may be enough.
Roof thermography detects moisture and problems under the roof membrane. Envelope thermography analyzes walls, windows, and facades to identify thermal bridges, air leaks, and insulation problems.
Yes, our thermographic report is documented with annotated photos and a professional analysis. It can serve as evidence in a legal claim or an insurance claim.
Roof thermography is ideally done in the evening, after daytime sun exposure, to maximize thermal contrast. For the envelope, optimal conditions occur during the heating season (winter) or air conditioning season (summer).
