Moisture Analysis

Hidden Moisture is Your Roof's Worst Enemy

A visual inspection, while valuable as a guide, cannot accurately pinpoint moisture below the roof surface. A Thermocore infrared moisture analysis provides you with a detailed thermal map of how and where hidden moisture is located. A sensitive infrared scanner is used at night to detect temperature differentials across your roof; areas over wet insulation appear warmer than surrounding areas.

Moisture probes are then used to verify wet areas, and the results of the infrared survey are confirmed by taking core samples. Some physical testing is necessary to measure the quantity of moisture at the core site and details of the roof construction. All roof cores and moisture probes are immediately repaired with Tremco materials to ensure waterproofing continuity.

Everything you need to understand the location and extent of roof moisture is documented, along with possible courses of action.

Thermocore Benefits

1. Reduces lifecycle costs by helping you prevent the spread of moisture throughout the entire roof system, avoiding unnecessary tear-off.
2. Accurately identifies wet insulation with minimal invasive testing of the roofing system.
3. Takes the guesswork out of roof analysis by using scientific data and comprehensive reporting.
4. Enables you to customize your level of service and establish a proactive management plan.
5. Inspects performed by the industry leader in roof diagnostic information and backed by ISO 9001:2015 quality processes and measurements.
