Moisture surveys that end in
a map, not a maybe
The deliverable of a flat-roof moisture survey is a map of suspected wet areas precise enough to core against. Atlas takes your evening thermal flight and produces exactly that — measured, georeferenced, and documented.
The IR moisture survey toolkit
Everything between landing the drone and marking the deck for cores.
Radiometric file support
Atlas reads the calibrated temperature data embedded in DJI R-JPEG and FLIR radiometric files — not just the colorized preview — so every reading is a measurement, not a guess.
Calibrated temperature analysis
Inspect per-pixel temperatures, adjust emissivity and reflected temperature, and place spot and area measurements that update live as you tune parameters.
Annotation & markup
Drop pins with live temperature readouts, mark regions, add delta-T callouts, and attach field notes so every finding carries its evidence.
Georeferenced findings
Findings land on maps and an interactive 3D globe view, so repair crews know exactly where to go without re-flying the site.
3D models & orthophotos
Turn drone photos or video into interactive 3D models, orthophotos, and downloadable deliverables processed on cloud GPUs — no desktop photogrammetry rig required.
Branded PDF reports
Generate client-ready reports with annotated imagery, findings tables, and severity grading — under your logo and brand, ready to send the same day.
Timing and temperature are your evidence
A moisture survey lives or dies on capture conditions and measured contrast. Atlas preserves capture timestamps, lets you record site weather with the flight log, and anchors each suspect area to real temperature differentials — so when a skeptical owner asks why that corner is wet, the answer is a number, not a color.
From thermal signature to core location
Mark suspected moisture regions on the thermal imagery, and Atlas maps them onto the roof plan through georeferenced capture data and orthophoto reconstruction. Verification cores and moisture-meter checks go exactly where the thermal evidence points — and their results get documented in the same project, closing the loop for the final report.
Frequently asked questions
When should a flat-roof IR moisture survey be flown?
Typically in the hours after sunset following a sunny day, when wet insulation re-radiates stored heat while dry areas cool. Atlas records timing and conditions with each flight so your report shows the survey was flown in a valid window.
Does Atlas replace core sampling?
No — thermal surveys locate suspect areas; cores verify them. Atlas makes the survey side rigorous and mapped so your verification effort is spent in the right places.
What roof types suit IR moisture surveys?
Low-slope membrane and built-up roofs with absorbent insulation are ideal. Ballasted and highly reflective assemblies are harder targets — judgment calls Atlas supports with measured data rather than making for you.
