Press Release Summary = Roof Consultants Inc. now has Level 1 trained thermographers
to perform Infrared Moisture Scans of roofing systems.

Press Release Body = Roof Consultants, Inc. President Al Kravitz has completed Level
1 Thermography training from Snell Infrared, one of the world leaders in infrared
technology.
Most infrared roof surveys are performed by technicians trained in infrared
sciences, but not trained in roofing and roof systems. By combining 33 years of
roofing experience and intensive infrared training Roof Consultants, Inc. now
provides a complete package for clients around the nation.
Over 70 % of all roofs removed and replaced don\'t need a complete restoration. In
many cases the problems with a roof are isolated to small specific areas. These
areas are identified by infrared thermography. \"That is where most thermographers
stop. Follow up inspections are necessary to verify the camera findings, including
destructive ( roof core testing) and non-destructive follow up such as electro
magnetic meter readings. In most cases a roofing consultant and or a contractor
performs the follow up inspections. This adds to the cost of the survey\" says
Kravitz.
RCI provides a complete inspection package from cad drawings, on site visual
inspection, infrared survey, follow up verification and design and specifications
for necessary repairs.
Having an infrared roof survey performed prior to electing to completely remove and
replace a roof can save building owners thousands of dollars. The infrared scan
detects moisture and moisture is a cause of building problems such as mold, mildew,
deck deterioration and ineffective roof insulation.
Roof Consultants, Inc. are members of the Roof Consultants Institute and The
Exterior Design Institute.
Clients include school districts in Illinois and New York, Industrial Clients and
Government agencies such as Amtrak and the U.S. Postal Service.
