Roof Moisture Survey and Mapping, explained.
A roof can leak for years before anyone sees a stain. In the meantime, insulation absorbs water, the deck rusts or rots and the weight and cost of the problem quietly grow. A moisture survey measures where the roof is wet, so you can replace only what is ruined and keep what is sound.
We lay out a grid on the roof, take readings across it with moisture meters and combine them with thermal images. Suspect areas are marked on the roof and plotted on a map. The survey shows how much of the roof is wet, which helps you decide between spot repairs, partial replacement and full replacement.

What is a moisture survey?
A systematic measurement of moisture across the roof, plotted on a map.
Will you cut the roof?
We avoid it. Verification probes or small test cuts are only used when needed and are resealed.
Can the survey save money?
Often, by showing that only part of the roof needs replacement.
