Flat and low-slope roofs are the most expensive envelope element to replace and the most commonly mismanaged. A thermal moisture survey, conducted at the right time of day, shows exactly where water has entered the insulation layer — long before it reaches the deck or the interior. We produce these for property managers planning roof-replacement budgets, for buyers conducting due diligence, and for envelope consultants needing condition data. The deliverable is a thermal map overlay with quantified wet-area square footage, suitable for capital planning.

Clients booking flat roof moisture survey often combine it with Building Envelope Imaging or Moisture Mapping — particularly when the underlying issue spans multiple systems or when documentation needs to support a broader investigation.

How to prepare for your visit

  1. Document what you're seeing. Photos, dates, sounds, water-bill changes, anything unusual. The more we know in advance, the faster we can locate.
  2. Clear access to the suspected area. Move furniture, stored items, and rugs. Non-invasive methods still need clear sightlines.
  3. Have system history ready. Recent plumbing work, prior leaks, renovations, age of property, prior insurance claims.

FAQ — Flat Roof Moisture Survey

When is the best time to scan a flat roof?

Late afternoon into early evening, when stored solar heat radiates back unevenly between dry and wet insulation.

Can you scan in winter?

Yes — winter scans use the reverse principle, but require careful weather conditions.

Do you provide repair recommendations?

We provide condition data; repair scoping is best done by your roofing consultant working from our findings.
