Nuclear Roof Moisture Detection Surveys
Atlantic Testing Services performs nuclear roof moisture surveys as a non-destructive method for evaluating relative moisture conditions beneath roofing systems.
This service is best suited for comparative analysis across consistent roof assemblies and should be interpreted in conjunction with visual observations and known site conditions.
How the Test Works
A calibrated nuclear gauge measures density variations that may correlate to moisture presence within a roof assembly. The data is then mapped to highlight relative areas of concern.
Important Expectations
Nuclear testing:
- Is comparative, not absolute
- Cannot differentiate active vs. historical moisture
- Is affected by deck condition, voids, repairs, and assembly changes
- Does not guarantee detection of all wet areas
ATS clearly documents testing limitations and observed conditions as part of the final report.
Why Use ATS
- Licensed and trained operators
- Standardized test procedures
- Clear documentation and reporting
- Independent, third-party evaluation
