Commercial Roof Moisture Surveying

Why Would I Need A Moisture Survey?

A roof can look perfectly intact and still be saturated with moisture underneath. Wet insulation can cause the lifespan of the roof system to decrease drastically, whether it be a fresh install or a restoration project. However, this damage can be invisible until you test for it.

Moisture Survey Pros provides infrared thermography, impedance surveys, and conductive probe verification testing completed by certified inspectors so that you have the data you need to make the right call, whether that’s a targeted repair, restoration, or a full replacement.

Building Owners and Facility Managers

  • Stop guessing about leaks that don’t show up during a visible inspection
  • Know the exact scope of the problem before a contractor ever sets foot on your roof
  • Know whether a replacement is actually the right call for your roof, or if it can be restored

Roofing Contractors

  • Win more bids with data backing your proposals to show exactly where the moisture is trapped in the system
  • Meet manufacturer warranty requirements for restoration projects
  • Protect yourself from callbacks caused by trapped moisture damaging your roof system

Those Debating Restoration

  • Find out how much of your roof’s insulation is wet vs. dry
  • Determine whether a roof coating or other restoration will hold or fail in the same areas
  • Understand the full scope of damage before committing to a solution

Our Services

We use a comprehensive surveying methodology that utilizes three different data gathering methods, because no single technique tells the whole story.

  • Infrared thermography shows you where to look.
  • Conductive probe verification testing gives you the quantifiable data that proves the presence of moisture.
  • Impedance surveys help map the anomalous areas to show the extent of the damage.

This is the kind of data that holds up when you are defending decisions in a board room or for a warranty application.

Infrared Drone Thermography

Stay ahead of costly roof repairs with our Infrared Drone Surveys. This non-destructive method identifies areas of potential moisture by highlighting anomalies on a commercial roof without disrupting your project. Get accurate insights to maintain roof performance and avoid downtime.

Conductive Moisture Probe Test

Get precise moisture readings with Conductive Moisture Probe Testing. This targeted, destructive method delivers the detailed data you need to prove the presence of moisture without a doubt, allowing you to fix problem areas for your client. Perfect for final verification or when pinpointing tough leaks.

Licensed, Certified, and ASTM Compliant

Every survey we conduct is performed by FAA Part 107 licensed drone pilots and Level 1 sUAS Certified Infrared Thermographers — not generalists, but trained professionals who specialize exclusively in commercial roof moisture detection.

Our methods adhere to ASTM C1153 for infrared thermography and ASTM D7954 for impedance scanning, and our reports are accepted by major roofing manufacturers as part of restoration warranty applications.

When the data needs to hold up in a boardroom or a warranty claim, you need people who know exactly what they’re doing.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    They are crucial for detecting trapped moisture in the roof system that may not otherwise be obvious. Moisture can lead to insulation damage, mold growth, structural problems, and premature roof failure. Early detection allows for timely repairs and extends the roof’s lifespan. In addition to the maintenance advantages, many warranties from manufacturers may require a moisture survey to be submitted during the process of applying for the warranty.

    Surveys are conducted using a range of non-destructive and destructive methods to get Quantitative and Qualitative data. Common techniques include infrared thermography (thermal imaging), impedance surveys, and conductive probe testing. In some cases, core samples might be taken to verify the current makeup of the roof system. Our professionally licensed team ensures that these methods are applied correctly and effectively, tailored to the specific requirements of your roofing system for the most accurate assessment.

    Infrared, Impedance, and Conductive moisture probe testing are different methods for detecting and assessing moisture in roofing systems.

    • Infrared Thermography uses thermal imaging to detect temperature differences on the roof surface, which can indicate moisture presence. It is non-destructive and provides a visual representation of potential problem areas, but may not detect moisture beneath certain materials.
    • Impedance Testing measures the level of potential moisture via electrical currents that move through the roofing materials from our surveying equipment to feed results back into the equipment to deliver readings. It is quick and non-destructive, useful for detecting moisture near the surface but less effective for deeper or embedded moisture.
    • Conductive Moisture Probe Testing involves inserting a probe into the roofing material to directly measure moisture content. This method is more invasive but provides accurate moisture readings at specific points, including deeper layers.

    Yes, there are certain limitations depending on the method used:

    • Infrared Thermography should be performed at night for accurate readings, and it may not be reliable when the roof surface is wet. Additionally, infrared imaging is not suitable for all roofing materials, such as metal, which can interfere with the thermal readings. Finally, this type of survey gives qualitative data, which can be used to guide further surveying, but cannot guarantee that the anomalies indicated are moisture present in the system.
    • Impedance Testing provides data primarily for moisture near the surface and may not detect deeper moisture issues. Similar to infrared thermography readings, impedance testing can indicate areas of moisture and the ideal places to probe for accurate data, but it does not yield quantitative data.
    • Conductive Moisture Probe Testing is invasive as it involves inserting a probe into the roofing material. This method can cause minor damage that requires subsequent patching. It provides precise, quantitative moisture content readings at specific points but does not offer a comprehensive view of moisture distribution across the entire roof.

    By utilizing a mixture of these three survey types, Moisture Survey Pros can compile an in-depth overview of the moisture problems affecting the roofing system.
