ICS Infrared Roof Consultants Help Government Agencies Save Millions Through Roof Moisture Surveys
Roof moisture surveys and non destructive infrared testing from Infrared Consulting Services are helping government agencies save millions of dollars in roof maintenance and repair.
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (PRWEB) September 16, 2004 -- http://www.irtest.com - Infrared Consulting Services, Inc.
(ICS), an infrared testing and roof moisture consulting firm, announced today
that their infrared testing services and roof moisture surveys are helping
government agencies save millions of dollars in roof maintenance and
repairs.
The Department of Energy states that most roofs begin to
deteriorate within the first few years due to moisture infiltrating roofing
systems.
"Because moisture is typically stored in roofing systems long
before leaks appear, it is essential to identify roof moisture early," said
Chuck Martin, Infrared Consulting Services President. "Infrared roof testing can
identify the exact location of roof moisture damage and save government agencies
millions of dollars that would have otherwise been allocated toward unnecessary
roof replacements."
Infrared testing services are the most accurate
method available today to pinpoint roof leaks. With non destructive infrared
testing, government agencies can avoid replacement of the entire roof, and focus
only on the portion of the roof that is leaking.
"We have experienced
roof leaks in the past, to which board members react with roof replacement
recommendations," said Perry L. Hansen, senior property manager, Durand &
Associates - Property Management, Inc. "One of our first steps, is to call
Infrared Consulting Services, have them examine the roof with infrared scanners
and provide definitive reporting and recommendations regarding roof life
expectancy, roof repair and replacement options."
According to the U.S.
Department of Energy, ninety-five percent of roofing materials removed are dry
and are not in need of replacement. Additionally flat roofs are being replaced
every 8 - 10 years although under the manufacturer's warranty their material
life is covered for 25 - 30 years.
As a result of investing in non
destructive roof moisture surveys from Infrared Consulting Services government
agencies can now avoid premature roof replacement and instead conduct minor
repairs and focus on preventive maintenance.
