Introduction
With the approval of Ms. Sharon Mc Nair, Brad Cousins, and Sean Cole of Pride Roofing and Roy Weidman of Atlanta Roofing Resources completed a roof examination and an infrared roof moisture survey of all roof areas on Gwinnett Christian Terrace on December 13 and December 14, 2012. The night time infrared survey was completed on December 13 and confirmed during the day using core extractions and moisture meter probes on December 14, 2012.

Methodology
The roof insulation moisture survey was conducted using a combination of inspection methods including hand held infrared scanning cameras, Tramex nondestructive moisture detecting devices, dielectric moisture meter probes, core samples, and visual observation. The primary inspection method utilized was the infrared roof scanning camera. During the day, the heat of the sun warms roof surfaces. In areas where the insulation beneath the roof is wet or damp, the heat of the sun warms the wet areas to higher temperatures than the surrounding dry insulated areas. Other areas on the roof that have a heavy build up of roofing material, additional layers of repair materials, a different insulation type or thicker roof membranes may also become warmer than the surrounding roof membrane. The infrared roof insulation moisture survey team begins the infrared analysis as the sun is setting. Wet insulated roof areas and areas of greater roof membrane thickness retain the sun's heat. Surrounding areas with dry substrates cool off rapidly. The roof surfaces are viewed through the infrared scanning camera. Areas that have higher surface temperatures show up as yellow-to-orange-to-red on the screen, and areas that are cooler show up as green to blue. Areas of suspected wet insulation are outlined in contrasting color paint on the roofs surface.

Moisture Survey and Roof Examination Results

The infrared survey identified six areas of suspected moisture trapped beneath the roof membrane on the main roofs, no areas of moisture trapped beneath the membrane on the front entrance roof, and the presence of a high degree of random moisture under the membrane on the lower rear roof. During the December 14 confirmation examination, core samples and moisture meter probes confirmed the six areas of areas of wet perlite insulation and light weight fill under the roof membrane on the main roof areas. The December 14 confirmation examination and additional investigation on December 15 determined that there is random dispersed moisture trapped beneath the membrane in the light weight fill on the lower rear roof.

The infrared survey team began the inspection as the sun was setting and the temperature was dropping. Weather conditions were perfect.

Wet Area 1 was found on Main Roof Area A. The tapered insulation cricket between the drains is saturated with water.

A core sample taken out of the cricket revealed saturated perlite insulation. The light weight fill below was dry.

All of the wet insulated tapered insulation material and membrane need to be removed prior to re-roofing.

Wet Area 2 is a triangular section of roofing found in the rear drain valley of Main Roof Area A.

This small section of wet insulated roofing will also require removal prior to reroofing of the building.

The triangular shape of Wet Area 2 was outlined on the roof surface.

Wet Area 3 was found adjacent to Wet Area 2 on Main Roof Area A. This section of light weight fill was determined to be damp, not saturated.
