ROOF CONSULTING SERVICES

We provide experienced roofing technicians for the monitoring of roof materials, workmanship, and sequence of construction per project specifications, and manufacturer recommendations.  Special attention is given to material verification, moisture detection in component materials, and material application.  

• Review historical records.
• Perform a thorough visual inspection.
• Obtain roof samples for laboratory examination.
• Prepare a photographic record of discrepancies and potential problems.
• Scrutinize roof drainage.
• Prepare a report to include the results of the investigation, along with the conclusions, recommendations, and cost estimates.

THERMOGRAPHIC SERVICES

​FCG provides a wide range of thermographic services.   Our Thermographers are certified by the infraspection Institute. FCG uses infrared, capacitance and nuclear equipment to perform nondestructive testing.  The following is a review of the equipment and testing procedures:

Infrared Thermal Imaging Radiometer
The Radiometer is used to detect the presence of moisture in roof systems due to the differential heat loss between wet and dry insulation.
 
Nuclear Moisture Meter
The nuclear gage we use is a noninvasive moisture detector (AM241 Be).  The depth of accurate readings of the nuclear moisture detector is approximately 6 inches.

Capacitance Leak Seeker
The capacitance scanner detects the presence of moisture in the roof system due to the differences in the dielectric constant between water and roofing materials. Each of these systems has unique limitation and neither should be used in the presence of standing water; therefore utilizing two of them in combination provides a desirable cross check with a correspondingly higher confidence level in the results obtained.
