Services Overview
​
We offer a full suite of leak detection services tailored to different roof systems and building types. Each service is
delivered with an emphasis on accuracy, documented findings, and clear repair recommendations.
> Moisture Mapping — Detect and map wet insulation and saturated areas.
> Infrared Scanning — Thermal imaging surveys for identifying temperature anomalies tied to moisture.
> Electronic Field Vector Mapping (EFVM) — Precise pinpointing of leak entry points on electrically conductive roof systems.
> Low Voltage Roof Scanning — Non-invasive moisture detection for many single-ply and membrane roofs.
> High Voltage Roof Scanning— Advanced scanning for multi-layer and thick insulation roofs where higher penetration is required.
Team & Capabilities
Certified Experts: Technicians trained in EFVM, infrared thermography, and moisture mapping with Level II thermography, confined-space, and fall-protection certifications.
​
​Proven Field Experience: Decades of combined work on commercial, industrial, and institutional roofs of all types.
​
​Accurate Results: Reliable leak detection that minimizes exploratory cuts, reduces repair time, and supports insurance claims.
​​Coordinated Process: Skilled inspectors, technicians, and analysts work together to deliver clear, photo-backed reports and seamless project execution.
Moisture Mapping
Purpose: Identify and map moisture within roof insulation and deck layers.
How it works: Systematic grid or transect readings with calibrated moisture
meters and probes; readings logged and visualized on a roof plan.
Benefits: Quantifies wet area extent, helps prioritize replacement vs. repair,
supports insurance claims.
Deliverables: Moisture map, annotated photos, data table, recommended repair
sequence.
Preparation: Clear rooftop access, power or safe access path for crew.
Limitations: Probe readings require access points or core sampling for
verification in some roof assemblies.
Infrared Scanning
Purpose: Detect thermal anomalies caused by moisture retention or roof failures.
How it works: Thermal camera survey during optimal thermal gradient windows,
followed by ground-truthing with moisture meters.
Benefits: Fast coverage of large areas, non-contact identification of suspect
zones, effective for evening/morning surveys when temperature contrast is highest.
Deliverables: Thermal map with hot/cold imagery, identified targets with
confidence levels, next-step recommendations.
Preparation: Best performed during recommended temperature differentials;
unobstructed line of sight to roof areas.
Limitations: False positives from wet ballast, shading, or thermal bridging;
requires verification.
​
Electronic Field Vector Mapping (EFVM)
Purpose: Pinpoint the actual entry point of water on electrically conductive roof assemblies.
How it works: EFVM applies a low-voltage electric field across the roof surface
while measuring current flow to locate pathways where water penetrates.
Benefits: Identifies precise leak entry points without destructive exploratory cuts;
highly effective on metal and conductive roofs.
Deliverables: Pinpoint locations on roof plan, voltage/current traces as evidence,
recommended repair locations.
Preparation: Roof must be conductive or have a conductive layer; safety
controls implemented for live-field work.
Limitations: Not suitable for non-conductive single-ply membranes without a
conductive layer.
​
Low Voltage Roof Scanning
Purpose: Non-destructive scan to detect moisture in membranes and insulation
with minimal roof disturbance.
How it works: A low-voltage electric field and sensitive detection equipment are
used to measure moisture-related conductance differences across a roof surface.
Benefits: Safe for most membrane roofs, minimal wear, quick deployment, and
suitable for routine condition assessments.
Deliverables: Condition map, prioritized targets, photographic evidence, and
recommended next steps.
Preparation: Clear roof surface; coordination if rooftop equipment must be moved.
Limitations: Reduced effectiveness on very thin or non-conductive systems.
High Voltage Roof Scanning
Purpose: Deep-penetration moisture detection for thick, multi-layer roofs or
heavily insulated systems.
How it works: Controlled higher-voltage scanning increases sensitivity and
depth of detection compared with low-voltage methods; always performed with
strict safety protocols.
Benefits: Finds hidden saturated zones that low-voltage methods can miss;
useful for older or complex roof builds.
Deliverables: High-resolution condition maps, failure probability ratings,
recommended invasive or repair actions.
Preparation: Safety setups, exclusion zones, and coordination with building operations.
Limitations: Requires specialized equipment and certified operators; more
planning for safety and access.
