Wind Uplift Testing for Commercial Roof Systems

At CORE Forensics, we help you ensure that your roofing systems are built to withstand real-world pressures—literally. Our Wind Uplift Testing services simulate extreme wind conditions to evaluate how your roof holds up under stress. Whether you’re in a high-risk wind zone or planning a large-scale replacement, we deliver the insights you need to safeguard your building envelope and meet industry standards.

Using advanced pressure systems and instrumentation, we apply increasing negative pressure to the roofing assembly. This controlled process reveals the roof’s failure points, fastener performance, and structural behavior under uplift conditions. Our findings are critical for validating system design, ensuring code compliance, and informing repair or replacement decisions.
