Newsletter Archive – March 2014

 

Volume 3  Issue 3  March 2014

Director’s Message
The harshness of this past winter is likely to be remembered for quite some time. Noteworthy too, is the unseen toll that winter has taken on many commercial buildings. Left undetected, the damage caused by winter’s fury can lead to premature roof failure. Fortunately, an infrared inspection of your roof can detect evidence of problems before they get out of hand.  

Performed under the proper conditions with the right equipment, an infrared inspection can detect evidence of latent moisture within the roofing system often before leaks become evident in the building.

The best candidates for infrared inspection are flat or low slope roofs where the insulation is located between the roof deck and the membrane and is in direct contact with the underside of the membrane. Applicable constructions are roofs with either smooth or gravel-surfaced, built-up or single-ply membranes. If gravel is present, it should be less than ½” in diameter and less than 1″ thick. All infrared data should be verified by a qualified roofing professional via core sampling or invasive moisture meter readings.

Infrared inspection of flat roofs and proper equipment selection are two of the many topics covered in all Infraspection Level I training courses. For more information or to obtain a copy of the Standard for Infrared Inspection of Insulated Roofs, please call or visit us online.
