I. Introduction Non-Invasive Roof Moisture Surveys

Because of the many potential problems associated with entrapped moisture, good roofing practice requires that wet roof materials, when found, be removed and replaced with new dry materials.

Periodic roof moisture surveys are a good way to detect moisture damage in the roof components and to find small problems that can be repaired before they involve large areas of the roof, potentially adding years to the serviceable life of the roof system.

Two non-invasive procedures are available for detecting areas of moisture damage in almost any type of flat roof. These procedures utilize infrared thermal imaging cameras and nuclear moisture/density gauges to detect moisture beneath the surface of the roof, particularly in the insulation layer beneath the membrane. Used separately or together, infrared and nuclear surveys are fast and cost-effective means of developing a detailed and accurate moisture profile of the roof.

Entrapped moisture may be detected by analyzing roof surface temperature patterns with an infrared camera at night. During the day, the roof absorbs heat energy from sunlight, passing a portion of this energy into the insulation beneath the membrane. As the sun sets and the roof begins to cool, dry insulation, which consists mostly of air, cools relatively quickly while wet insulation stays warm later into the evening. Heat stored by the wet insulation is conducted to the roof’s surface, creating warm areas that can be detected with an infrared camera.

Not all warm areas on the roof are caused by moisture. Heat discharged by mechanical equipment, variations in interior temperature and differential exposure to sunlight may cause temperature differences unrelated to moisture. As part of a properly conducted moisture survey, a nuclear moisture/density gauge is used to conduct further testing in such areas. The nuclear gauge operates by emitting a signal from a low-level radioactive source that reacts to the presence of moisture without piercing the roof. As the nuclear gauge does not rely on temperature variations to detect moisture, it is also used to cross check results obtained with the infrared camera, thus limiting the number of invasive test cuts required to confirm our results and reducing the likelihood of false positives. Nuclear gauge testing is also the only viable method of moisture testing stone ballasted membrane roofs.

In the final stage of the roof moisture survey, confirmed wet areas are outlined on the roof with marking paint, measured, photographed and plotted on a computer-generated diagram of the roof.

The information presented in this report is intended to help establish an appropriate roofing application, and may serve as the basis for bid comparison for any needed moisture related replacement work.

II. Purpose and Scope of Work:

In response to a request by the Federal Aviation Administration, Proscan technicians conducted an infrared roof moisture survey of the lower roofs at the Beverly Regional Airport control tower located on LP Henderson Road in Beverly, MA. The purpose of the survey was to detect the locations and extent of moisture damage to the insulation or other components of the roof assembly beneath the membrane using non-invasive test methods.

Moisture entrapped within the roofing materials may lead to one or more of the following problems:

Structural degradation of the roof and other building components Increased weight load to the roof structure Increased energy losses Mold and insect infestation Interior damage due to roof leaks Reduced serviceable life of the roof

Wet roof materials identified by our survey should therefore be removed and replaced with new dry materials in conjunction with roof maintenance, repair or replacement.

Our survey was conducted during evening hours on April 11, 2023, and included two lower roof sections of the control tower building. The upper tower roof was not scanned. Total roof area scanned was approximately 1,100 square feet of EPDM membrane roofing on two levels.

III. Equipment & Procedure

Equipment used for the survey consisted of a FLIR Model PM360 High Resolution Thermal

Imaging Camera operating in the short-wave spectrum (best for roof testing), sensitive to a temperature differential of 0.1° F. The infrared camera was used to scan all roof areas to detect thermal anomalies potentially indicating the presence of sub-surface moisture.

Where the infrared camera indicated the presence of moisture, the location was marked on the roof, measured, photographed and plotted on a roof diagram. All areas of the roof were scanned at least twice.

To the extent possible, our scanning and reporting procedures are conducted in accordance with

ASTM C1153-10-R2015 (Standard Practice for Location of Wet Insulation in Roofing Systems

Using Infrared Imaging).

IV. Environment:

The following information is provided in compliance with the Standard referenced above.

Weather conditions for the infrared scan were favorable, with daytime high temperature at 57° F and clear sky. Nighttime low temperature during the time of the survey was 48° F with clear sky and wind at 10-15 mph. There was no precipitation during the 24-hour period preceding the survey, nor were there any areas of standing water, debris, or other objects limiting access to any roof area.

V. Summary of Results:

The results of our survey are shown in detail on the roof diagram and accompanying charts in the next section of this report.

The following is a summary of our findings:

Our survey detected thermal anomalies indicating the presence of sub-surface moisture at two locations, affecting a total combined area of 17 square feet, or about 1.5 percent of the total roof area scanned. Both areas were found on the larger of the two roof sections

(Roof A on the diagram).

A small puncture in EPDM membrane was noted in the smaller area, a likely cause of moisture at that location. The thermal anomaly at that location was very weak due to its low moisture level, and no thermal image was recorded.

The larger area is located by a drain at the SW corner of the roof, and presented a clear thermal image, as shown on the diagram page.

Both wet areas are marked on the roof membrane with weather resistant white spray paint.

No cores samples, moisture probes or other invasive procedures were conducted by our technicians. Our results were sufficiently clear to preclude the need for cutting or otherwise compromising the membrane.

The above figures represent the actual dimensions of the wet areas as they are marked on the roof and shown on the diagram. For replacement purposes, each area should be expanded slightly beyond its spray-painted boundaries in order to include any moisture migration that may occur prior to replacement, and simplified in shape.
