Moisture Detection & Building Envelope
Non-destructive thermographic moisture mapping to isolate trapped water inside roof insulation, wall assemblies, EIFS facades, and building envelopes without destructive core sampling or tear-offs.
Non-Destructive Moisture Mapping & Envelope Science
Water intrusion is the single leading cause of commercial roof degradation, structural decay, indoor mold growth, and premature insulation failure. Flow Services performs non-destructive aerial and ground-based thermal moisture surveys that utilize the physics of evaporative cooling and thermal capacitance to locate wet insulation blocks exactly.
Inspection Methodology & Scope
- Thermal Capacitance Differentials: Scans conducted during thermal solar loading cycles to detect wet insulation retains heat longer than dry insulation at dusk.
- Non-Invasive Verification: Precise CAD boundary mapping of wet areas without driving core cuts into roof membranes.
- Building Facade & EIFS Audits: Detect water infiltration behind exterior insulation finish systems, masonry, and window flashing.
- Cost Savings Optimization: Isolate localized wet insulation zones so property owners can replace 5% - 10% of damaged insulation rather than funding a full roof replacement.
Target Applications
Commercial Roof Leak Tracking
Map active water migration lines underneath TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen commercial roofs.
Pre-Roof Replacement Verification
Verify exact wet board quantities prior to tear-off or re-cover contracting projects.
Wall & Window Intrusion
Scan multi-story exterior walls, window seals, and parapets for hidden water penetration.
