We find the problem. We don't sell the repair.
All we sell is the test: a report that says what failed, where, and how far it has spread. No repair crew waits behind that answer, so it is never sized to win the next job.
Why independence is the whole business
A firm that sells roofs has a reason to find a roof that needs replacing. A firm that owns one instrument has a reason to recommend that instrument. Neither is dishonesty. It is just what happens when the person diagnosing the problem also profits from the answer.
Atlantic Testing Services does not install, does not repair, and does not bid the work our findings point to. We test, we document, and we hand you the result. That is the entire product. It is why an insurer or a court reads our report as evidence, and reads a contractor's assessment as a bid.
The same logic runs one level deeper. We carry infrared and nuclear, low voltage and high voltage. So when we tell you which test your building needs, we are not steering you toward the only thing in the van.
What we actually do
Finds the breach itself in a roof or waterproofing membrane, to the square inch, without flooding anything.
Reads heat to find wet insulation, failing connections and everything else that gives itself away as temperature.
Measures moisture inside the assembly, through ballast, cover boards and overlays that defeat a thermal scan.
Barriers and assemblies verified while they are still exposed and can be corrected: bubble gun, smoke pencil, adhesion, and infrared.
Everything buried past the meter on private property, which nobody else is coming to mark.
Underground water loss located without excavating the site to find it.
Nationwide testing, three home bases.
Anywhere in the country. The instruments and the certifications are the scarce part of this work, and they travel: infrared and nuclear crews take projects wherever the building is.
From our Marlboro, New Jersey office: New York City, New Jersey, and the surrounding states.
Massachusetts and the six New England states, from our Boston office.
Licensed in Florida and serving the whole state, led by nuclear moisture surveys: the multi-layer Florida roof is exactly what infrared cannot read through.
Why the instruments travel
What most of the country does not have nearby is a licensed nuclear gauge with an operator qualified to run it, or a thermographer certified to interpret what the camera shows rather than just point it.
On a large roof, or on a decision about whether to replace one, the testing is a small fraction of the money at stake. So bringing in the instrument and the certification is routine, and it is why our infrared and nuclear work is not limited by a drive time. If you have a building somewhere we have never been, ask. The answer is usually yes.
