CRREL Roof Moisture Survey, Pease, AFB Buildings 35, 63, 93, 12, 113, 120 and 220.

Abstract

We surveyed the roofs of seven buildings at Pease AFB with a hand-held infrared scanner to detect wet insulation. We used white spray paint to outline the wet areas and took core samples of the built-up membrane and insulation to verify our findings. Flashing defects around penetrations and bordering walls appear to be the major cause of the wet insulation found on these roofs. Since most problem areas are localized, we directed our repair recommendations toward salvaging as much of each roof as is economically possible. (Author)
