Exterior Wall Consulting

We take destructive core sampling of your roof and wall assemblies. Removal of roofing material can be as simple as a round 3” core tool that allows one to identify the nomenclature of the existing roof assembly. Core sampling enables one to remove a large enough section of the roof to be able to perform other tests such as delaminating each layer to confirm quantity of adhesive or type of inter-ply membranes, attachment type of insulation to deck, insulation to re-cover board, re-cover board to inter-plies, adhesion of interplay-to surface ply and thickness of asphalt flood coat and emersion of gravel into flood coat. Core sampling of exterior veneers varies depending on coverings like brick, plaster/EFIS, and siding material. All destructive testing will observed by our team as well as any replacement of the cores to ensure that the building would be left in a watertight condition when testing was completed.

Testing can be performed with both destructive and non-destructive impedance measuring devices.
