What types of commercial roof membranes can you inspect?

We inspect all major commercial roofing systems including EPDM, TPO, PVC, modified bitumen, built-up roofing (BUR), and liquid-applied membrane systems using specialized testing equipment.

How do you detect leaks in roof membranes without causing damage?

We use non-destructive methods including electronic leak detection, thermal imaging, nuclear moisture surveys, and capacitance testing that locate leaks without penetrating the membrane.

Can you perform leak detection on occupied buildings?

Yes, our roof membrane testing methods are designed to work on occupied commercial buildings without disrupting business operations or requiring building evacuation.

What causes commercial roof membrane failures?

Common causes include UV degradation, thermal cycling, punctures from foot traffic or equipment, seam failures, flashing issues, and improper installation or maintenance.

Cost of Roof Membrane Failures

Undetected roof membrane leaks can cause extensive damage to building structures, contents, and business operations, resulting in significant financial losses.

Structural Damage: Water intrusion can damage roof decking, structural members, and building systems.
Interior Damage: Ceiling damage, equipment loss, and inventory destruction from water intrusion.
Business Interruption: Operations may be disrupted during emergency repairs and restoration.
Energy Loss: Wet insulation loses R-value, increasing heating and cooling costs.
