Moisture Mapping

Cost certainty and quality without compromise

Our Moisture Mapping Service and thermal imaging enables us to highlight specific areas of the roof that are subject to moisture ingress. This means we can provide a precise recommendation that identifies the priority areas of the roof for refurbishment and creates a bespoke specification of work that considers the whole roof area

Moisture Mapping Technology Diagnostic Equipment

The Survey works by utilising a special piece of equipment that generates a low frequency electronic signal which is transmitted into the roof system in situ. The strength of the return signal varies in proportion to the amount of moisture present in the material. The equipment determines the strength of the current and converts this to a comparative moisture content value.

The equipment gives continuous moisture condition readings across the roof area being surveyed, from which a moisture map of the surface can be provided.

The advantages of this test are the speed at which it can be carried out, less than half the survey time of Nuclear moisture mapping survey methods, it produces highly accurate and instantaneous results and the test does not cause any damage to the roofing materials in situ.
