What is a Microscopic Evaluation? 

A microscopic evaluation is a specialized testing method that is designed to evaluate the material condition of the roofing system at a microscopic level. By using magnification and high-intensity back-lighting, our experts can closely examine the roofing materials and identify any potential issues.

Our Microscopic Evaluation Process 

At CORE Forensics, we use a comprehensive approach to microscopic evaluations that ensures accurate and reliable results for our clients. Our process includes the following steps: 

  1. Collect Information: We obtain as much information as possible from the client. 
  2. Sample Collection: After the client sends us samples from the roofing system, we prepare them for analysis. 
  3. Delamination and Desaturation: We will delaminate and desaturate the samples to prepare them for microscopic evaluation. 
  4. Microscopic Evaluation: We will use specialized equipment to closely examine the roofing materials at a microscopic level and identify any potential issues or concerns. 
  5. Analysis and Reporting: We will analyze the data collected during testing and provide you with a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations for repairs or further testing. 

Why Microscopic Evaluations are Important 

Microscopic evaluations are important for a few reasons. First and foremost, they provide a detailed analysis of the condition of the roofing materials at a microscopic level, which can help identify potential issues or concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye. This can help prevent leaks and other types of damage that can be costly to repair. 

Another reason why microscopic evaluations are important is that they can provide valuable information for insurance claims. If your building has been damaged by a storm or other event, a microscopic evaluation can help determine the cause and extent of the damage, which can be useful when filing an insurance claim.
