Roof monitoring during management
Roofs during operation: managing risks, preventing damage
During operation, roofs are continuously exposed to stress: rain, wind, pollution, heating, installations, and snow can lead to leaks, contamination, unnecessary wear, or even instability.
Inscio monitors roofs in real time, so owners and managers know exactly where risks arise — well before damage or disruption occurs.
Why roofs in operation are risky
Flat roofs are vulnerable structural elements, especially when used intensively or for installations. Many problems develop slowly, are invisible, and are only discovered once consequential damage has already occurred.
Typical risks:
- Water accumulation due to blockage or insufficient slope
- Pollution in gutters, leading to flooding and accelerated aging
- Moisture in the roof structure, for example after minor leaks
- Aging due to temperature fluctuations
- Installations that cause high point loads locally
- Limited visibility due to ballast or retention
Many of these risks are not visible during periodic inspections — but they are visible in data.
What does inscio measure?
What Inscio measures on and in roofs during operation
Moisture in the roof structure
- insight into potential leaks
- detection of moisture accumulation in insulation
- assessment of drying behavior across seasons
Pollution & water level in gutters
- degree of contamination of gutter
- abnormal water levels (indication of blockages)
- trends indicating maintenance requirements
Temperature & dew point
- risk of condensation in the roof structure
- temperature behavior of different roof coverings
- insight into insulation performance and warming
Typical risks detected by Inscio during operation
In practice, Inscio observes that the same patterns recur repeatedly:
Water that remains standing, often in places where there is insufficient drainage
Gradual accumulation of moisture in the insulation, without visible leakage
Daily fluctuations in water levels in gutters, indicating blockages or contamination
Detailed problems with feed-throughs and installations
Without monitoring, these types of deviations are often discovered too late.
Visually
- From ad hoc inspections to continuous risk management
How Inscio assists during operation
Real-time insight into roof risks
Moisture, humidity, temperature, and water level are continuously monitored.
Automatic Signaling
The software identifies when risks increase and provides targeted notifications.
Substantiated maintenance
Fewer inspections — only intervene when data shows it is necessary.
Peace of mind for administration & asset management
Continuous file creation supports long-term maintenance planning.
Demonstrable risk management
Monitoring provides evidence for insurers and audits
Less disruption for tenants and users
Problems are solved before they become visible in the interior spaces.
