Roof Moisture Surveys
Non-destructive surveys locate trapped moisture and wet insulation within the roof assembly. Every survey concludes with a detailed written report, findings, and a color graph outlining problem areas.

“Opinions are based on Science not just our eyeballs!!”
We are a certified testing laboratory in South Florida specializing in testing and consulting for commercial and industrial flat roofs — condominiums, shopping plazas, hotels, and professional parks — dedicated to reducing roof maintenance costs through comprehensive, non-destructive testing.
Objective, instrument-based testing that tells building owners and managers what a walk-around inspection cannot.

Non-destructiveField testing of a roof system’s resistance to wind uplift forces, which concentrate at perimeters and corners and can compromise the entire assembly.
ASTM E-907Withdrawal-resistance testing determines whether mechanical fasteners provide sufficient uplift resistance for the roof assembly and helps establish fastener-spacing requirements.
Withdrawal resistanceEvaluation of moisture-laden roof components to determine the degree of saturation and whether affected areas can be dried, repaired, or must be replaced.
Moisture assessmentIndependent oversight of roofing projects — from specification and scope through construction observation — protecting the owner’s interests at every phase.
Owner’s representativeInvestigative analysis to determine the cause, origin, and extent of roof failures and water intrusion, documented with objective test data.
Cause & originMoisture is the enemy of a compact roofing system, and it hides where the eye can’t see it. Our surveys find wet insulation while the affected area is still small — so problems can be isolated and repaired instead of triggering a full, premature tear-off.
Every survey concludes with documentation you can act on and defend — a written report of conditions, recommendations for repair or replacement, and a color-coded moisture map that pinpoints exactly where water has entered the system.

Roof Moisture Surveys have proven to be a very effective method for improving the long-term performance and reducing the life-cycle cost of roofing systems. It is generally agreed that it is technically unwise and fiscally irresponsible to develop plans for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of a roof without first conducting a Roof Moisture Survey.— U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, The Military Engineer, April 1982, Vol. 74, No. 479
