Why you should use moisture mapping technology on your roofing project

By identifying the moisture levels in various parts of the roof, a refurbishment project can save time and money by understanding the exact size and scale of water ingress issues. Without moisture mapping in place, you have less visibility and control over the extent of your refurbishment works – often defaulting to either spending more than you need to or less than you should. 

During a traditional refurbishment survey, core samples are taken from the existing system which is used to confirm the composition and condition of the roof build-up and any moisture ingress if present. The core sample doesn’t offer a means by which to measure the actual impact of the water ingress in all areas. By combining both moisture mapping and core sampling, we can offer a specifier a far more conclusive picture of the extent of the water ingress problems. This means we can provide a precise recommendation that identifies the priority areas of the roof for refurbishment and create a bespoke specification of work that considers the whole roof area.  

Ultimately, this enhanced visibility over a project is why you should use moisture mapping in a survey – because it can save you potentially thousands of pounds when doing remedial work. For example, if a moisture map identifies that the problem is limited to a small area of the roof, you can save a huge amount by only dealing with that specific area.

Choose a company that understands the exact nature of the roof you’re working on and can use their expertise to help address challenges like this. As part of our survey process you can take advantage of our moisture mapping services. We will perform a full moisture map analysis of the roof and help deliver a specification that saves time and money – providing cost certainty for your project.
