Thermal Imaging Conference 2016

Roof moisture surveys save the building owner money by narrowing those areas that contain moisture contamination to a finite, defined and targeted amount, so that repairmen can replace just those wet areas. Infrared roof moisture surveys are usually performed as part of an overall roof asset management plan. This information is used to plan repairs and budgets and when needed, create a bid document for contracting repairs and/or replacement of the roof. This presentation reviews the techniques of moisture testing on building roofs and infrared (IR) thermography as it relates to different cover boards and insulations in roof substrates.
