What Is Gravimetric Testing?
Gravimetric testing is designed to determine the exact moisture content of roofing and building materials. This is done by taking the original sample components to be tested and placing them into a metal tray. The sample components and metal tray are then weighed in their “wet” state. After the drying process, the samples and tray are reweighed to calculate a precise moisture percentage - this cycle may repeat until two consecutive measurements are achieved. This method is accurate, objective, and repeatable—making it ideal for insurance claims, repair prioritization, or long-term maintenance planning.
Why Gravimetric Testing Is Important
First and foremost, it provides an accurate and reliable measurement of the moisture content of roofing and building materials. This information can help identify potential issues or concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Another reason why gravimetric testing is important is that it can provide valuable information for insurance claims. If your building has been damaged by a storm or other event, gravimetric testing can help detect any damage through scientific methodolgy, which can be valuable when filing an insurance claim.
