Contractors and building owners risk costly coating failure, structural damage, and voided warranties because they cannot reliably detect hidden moisture in flat roof insulation before applying a coating.
Existing solutions require specialized equipment (IR cameras) and expertise (thermal capacitance interpretation) that many small contractors lack, plus core testing is invasive. There is no integrated, easy-to-use platform that combines thermal scanning data, core test logging, and coating warranty documentation.
Workarounds Described
- uses thermal camera at twilight to find hot spots
- performs core test (cutting physical sample) to confirm moisture
- relies on moisture meter to validate wet areas
Implied Software Gaps
- Mobile app that guides inspection workflow and automatically logs thermal images with location and time
- Integrated platform to combine thermal scan findings, core test results, and moisture meter readings into a single report
RoofScan & Warranty Shield
A mobile app that guides roofers through a standardized moisture detection workflow using thermal imaging best practices, logs core test results with photo evidence, and generates a validated substrate report required for coating warranty approval. It turns complex diagnostics into a simple, auditable process that saves time and prevents costly mistakes.
- Step-by-step thermal scan scheduling and weather condition logger
- In-app annotation of thermal images to mark hot spots
- Core test logging with photo capture and moisture meter reading integration
- Automated substrate dry report for warranty submission
- Cloud storage of all inspection data for customer reports and future reference
