Nuclear Roof Moisture Surveys
Advanced Moisture Detection for Multi-Layer Commercial Roof Systems
When multiple membrane layers, cover boards, or ballast limit the effectiveness of thermal imaging, nuclear moisture surveys provide an advanced solution. Atlantic Testing Services performs nuclear roof moisture surveys across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties, offering precise quantification of moisture content within commercial roofing assemblies.
Florida buildings often experience repeated roof overlays or storm-driven repairs, creating complex roof systems where trapped moisture may not be visible via infrared alone. Nuclear scanning technology allows us to measure moisture levels within insulation layers, even beneath additional membrane installations. This is especially valuable for capital planning, forensic investigations, and pre-purchase property evaluations.
By identifying moisture-retaining insulation accurately, nuclear roof surveys help reduce unnecessary tear-off costs while preventing undetected saturation from remaining in place. The result is better-informed budgeting, more accurate scope development, and stronger documentation for insurance carriers and ownership boards.
As an independent building envelope diagnostics firm, ATS provides objective, non-destructive testing without performing installation or repair work. Our nuclear moisture survey reporting supports commercial roofing contractors, condominium associations, and facility managers throughout Florida with defensible, professional documentation.
