Thermal Roof Inspection Markham
Drone-based infrared roof scanning for corporate campuses, tech facilities, and commercial properties across Markham's Highway 404/407 corridor.

Markham is home to some of Canada's largest technology companies and corporate headquarters. These facilities depend on climate-controlled environments for data centers, server rooms, and sensitive equipment. Hidden moisture in roof insulation compromises thermal performance and puts critical infrastructure at risk.
Our drone-based thermal inspections identify trapped moisture before it causes problems. After sunset, wet insulation releases heat more slowly than dry material, creating temperature patterns our infrared cameras map with centimeter-level accuracy. No disruption to your operations, no roof access required.

How Thermal Roof Scanning Works
Weather Coordination
We schedule for optimal conditions: 48+ hours without rain, sunny day for solar loading, clear evening, wind below 25 km/h.
RGB Survey
Daytime flight captures high-resolution imagery showing surface conditions, ponding, debris, and visible damage.
Thermal Survey
After sunset, we capture thousands of infrared images as the roof releases stored heat, revealing moisture patterns.
Analysis & Reporting
We process both datasets, trace anomalies in AutoCAD, calculate affected areas, and deliver your complete report.
Typical Timeline: On-site 1 to 2 hours (RGB) + 2 to 4 hours (thermal) | Report delivery: 5 to 7 business days
Commercial-Grade Thermal Systems

Thermal Roof Inspection Markham
How much does a thermal roof inspection cost in Markham?
Pricing depends on roof size, complexity, and deliverables required. Corporate campuses with multiple buildings can be quoted as a package. Contact us with your building's approximate square footage for a custom quote.
Can you scan multiple buildings on a corporate campus?
Yes. Multi-building campuses are ideal for drone-based thermal scanning. We can cover multiple structures in a single evening, which is more efficient than scheduling separate inspections. Contact us for consolidated campus pricing.
How long does a thermal inspection take?
On-site work runs 3 to 6 hours: a daytime RGB flight (1 to 2 hours) followed by an evening thermal survey (2 to 4 hours depending on roof size). Report delivery takes 5 to 7 business days.
What weather do you need?
We require at least 48 hours without rain, a sunny day to heat the roof (solar loading), clear evening conditions, and wind speeds below 25 km/h. We monitor weather closely and schedule backup dates for every project.
Can thermal scans identify issues above data centers?
Thermal imaging detects moisture trapped in roof insulation, which is critical for data centers where climate control is essential. Wet insulation loses its thermal performance, potentially affecting interior temperatures and energy costs. Early detection prevents more serious problems.
Do you follow ASTM standards?
Yes. Our thermal roof surveys follow ASTM C1153 protocols for locating wet insulation using infrared imaging. This produces results that roofing consultants, engineers, and insurance companies recognize and accept.
What certifications do you hold?
Craig Holland is a Level II sUAS Certified Thermographer with Transport Canada Advanced RPAS certification. Holland Productions holds RPOC authorization for complex operations and carries $6.25 million in commercial liability insurance.
What types of roofs can you inspect?
Flat and low-slope commercial roofs with membrane systems produce the best results: TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing. This covers the majority of corporate and commercial roof systems in Markham.
