Roof Inspection + Analysis

The first step in the process is dispatching an SR PreVision technician to your facility for data collection. Our SR PreVision technicians are specially trained and work solely on roof inspections and data collection. They follow a strict process, dictated by proprietary software on individual tablets, to ensure consistent and accurate data collection. They’ll take written notes and observations, as well as photos of each area, not just defects. CAD drawings are developed based on aerial photos to streamline the field inspection.

When the technician arrives on site, they’ll first examine the interior of the facility if possible. This provides insight into water intrusion, building structure, and more.

From there, the technician will safely access the rooftop for a visual inspection and compilation of data about the roof, such as type, age, size, pitch, composition, layers and projections. The technician will identify all defects or areas of concern per roof section, complete with photos and substantial data.

One of the most important parts of the SR PreVision process is the core sample collection. A technician will take a small rectangular sample from the roof and then repair the area with our multi-course repair method. This sample is then sent to our SR PreVision Laboratory for testing and analysis.

In the evening hours, the technician will return to perform an infrared or thermal scan. This integral part of the process identifies the presence of wet insulation or water saturation – a critical issue for commercial roofs. This step isn’t required for metal roofs.
