 Over
the years, French Engineering has had experience with a variety of
non-destructive roof moisture surveys methods, including infrared (thermographic
imaging), radioactive isotope (nuclear), resistivity, and capacitance methods.
Our experience allows us to determine which method would be the best for your
project in order to accurately assess the severity and location of moisture
within the roof insulation and deck materials of your buildings. This
information can be invaluable in developing a prudent replacement and repair
scheme that may be capable of saving and renovating the original roof system at
substantial savings when compared to total replacement options. In addition,
non-destructive roof moisture surveys are capable of pin-pointing where
anomalies and problem areas may exist within the roof system, so effective
repairs may be made at the "right" locations.
In addition to roof moisture surveys, French Engineering has extensive
experience in performing or coordinating non-destructive moisture surveys and
NAHB moisture tests for various types of wall cladding systems, including
plaster, Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems, and lapped board siding. This
type of testing may be helpful in diagnosing and locating thermal bridges, wet
spots, water infiltration sources, and areas of retained moisture. Once known,
these locations may be properly addressed utilizing appropriate and effective
repair techniques.
