Moisture Surveys
Detect hidden water intrusion before it becomes costly damage.
Water intrusion within a roofing system is one of the most common causes of structural deterioration in commercial and multi-family buildings. Unfortunately, moisture can travel beneath roofing membranes and insulation layers long before visible leaks appear.
PIC Global provides professional moisture surveys using advanced detection technologies to identify trapped water within roofing systems. These surveys help property owners locate hidden damage, plan targeted repairs, and prevent widespread structural deterioration.
Early identification allows building owners to address moisture issues before they compromise insulation performance, roofing materials, or structural components.
Why Moisture Surveys Are Important
Water trapped inside a roofing system can silently degrade insulation, weaken materials, and increase energy loss. Over time, this hidden damage can lead to major roof failures if not detected early.
Moisture surveys allow property owners to identify these issues before they escalate.
Our surveys help detect:
• Hidden moisture beneath roofing membranes
• Saturated insulation layers
• Areas where water has migrated through the roofing system
• Potential structural risks caused by trapped moisture
• Early signs of roofing system failure
By identifying moisture early, property owners can perform targeted repairs instead of full roof replacements.
Advanced Moisture Detection Methods
PIC Global uses specialized equipment designed to detect hidden moisture that cannot be identified through visual inspections alone.
Common moisture detection technologies include:
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Thermal cameras detect temperature differences across the roof surface, helping identify areas where trapped moisture is affecting insulation performance.
Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic testing methods locate breaches in roofing membranes that may be allowing water to penetrate the system.
Core Sampling
In some cases, controlled core samples are taken to verify moisture conditions beneath the roofing membrane.
Visual & Structural Inspection
Our team evaluates drainage patterns, flashing, penetrations, and roofing materials to identify potential entry points for water.
These combined methods allow us to produce accurate assessments of roof moisture conditions.
What Property Owners Gain from Moisture Surveys
Moisture surveys provide valuable information that supports smarter maintenance and repair decisions.
Property owners benefit from:
• Accurate mapping of moisture-affected areas
• Targeted repair recommendations
• Extended roof lifespan through early intervention
• Reduced long-term repair costs
• Documentation for insurance or capital planning
Rather than replacing an entire roofing system unnecessarily, moisture surveys help determine exactly where repairs are needed.
When Moisture Surveys Are Recommended
Moisture surveys are especially valuable in situations where roof performance is uncertain or when leaks are suspected but difficult to locate.
Common situations include:
• Buildings experiencing recurring leaks
• Aging roofing systems nearing the end of their lifecycle
• Storm damage assessments
• Pre-purchase property inspections
• Capital planning for commercial properties
• Preventive maintenance programs
For large commercial properties or multi-family complexes, moisture surveys provide critical data for long-term asset management.
The PIC Global Moisture Survey Process
Our team evaluates the roof type, age, materials, and previous repairs.
We use thermal imaging and specialized equipment to scan the roof surface and identify moisture anomalies.
Additional testing methods may be used to confirm moisture conditions.
Detected moisture areas are documented and mapped for precise repair planning.
Clients receive a clear report outlining findings and recommended next steps.
Protect Your Roofing Investment
Moisture trapped inside a roofing system can cause significant structural damage if left undetected.
A professional moisture survey provides the insight needed to identify hidden problems early and plan the right repairs before costly damage occurs.
PIC Global’s moisture surveys help property owners protect their roofing systems, reduce risk, and extend the life of their buildings.
If your building has experienced leaks, storm damage, or aging roof materials, a moisture survey can help determine the true condition of your roofing system.
Contact PIC Global to schedule a professional moisture survey and roofing system evaluation.
