Moisture mapping helps clients understand whether water is trapped within a roof build-up before committing to repair, overlay or replacement works.
Using specialist non-destructive equipment, we survey the roof in a systematic pattern to locate areas of elevated moisture that may not be visible from the surface.
Where required, targeted core samples can be taken to confirm the roof build-up, verify moisture levels and help interpret the significance of the readings.
The result is not just a moisture map, but a technical basis for deciding whether a roof can be overlaid, repaired locally or requires more extensive strip-up and replacement.
This helps clients avoid unnecessary replacement where moisture is isolated, and avoid inappropriate overlay where trapped moisture presents a wider risk.
IntegriTest field technicians will scan your roof and provide you with a detailed report that includes a gridded map of the moisture levels and recommendations for any necessary repairs.
The Tramex dec-scanner is a non-destructive moisture meter that can determine the relative moisture levels in a build-up of up to 6 inches (152mm). IntegriTest will attend the site to carry out the moisture map using the dec-scanner and associated moisture meters and take pin measurements at the wettest and driest locations identified by the dec-scanner. Our trusted partners can provide dewatering and roof drying if required.
IntegriTest can carry out moisture mapping on most flat roof constructions including but not limited to:
