Get a Deeper Understanding of Your Roof’s Condition
Water ingress, membrane failure, and insulation breakdown are often hidden below the surface. At Georgian Roofing, our Core Sampling & Moisture Testing service provides critical insights into the internal composition and health of your roofing system—helping you make informed decisions about repair, replacement, or refurbishment.
Whether you’re planning a re-roof, investigating long-term defects, or validating a warranty claim, our detailed investigations reveal the full picture of what’s happening beneath your waterproofing layer.
What Is Core Sampling?
Core sampling involves the extraction of small, circular sections from the roof build-up, allowing us to visually and physically assess the individual layers—including:
- Waterproofing membrane
- Insulation material
- Vapour control layers
- Structural deck (concrete, timber, metal)
Once the sample is removed, it’s examined for moisture penetration, delamination, rot, contamination, or age-related degradation. After assessment, the opening is reinstated using compatible materials and sealed to industry standards.
Moisture Testing: Precision Matters
In conjunction with core samples, we conduct non-destructive moisture testing using calibrated probes and meters to:
- Map damp areas across the roof
- Identify trapped water within insulation
- Quantify moisture saturation levels
- Track the migration of water over time
This data helps confirm whether leaks are isolated or systemic, supporting decisions on whether targeted repairs or full replacements are required.
