If this distance measures 4 inches you have a 4 in 12 pitch.
Roof survey meter.
Designed to quickly non destructively scan an entire roof area to astm d7954 the dec scanner rws moisture meters are ideal for tracing the source of a leak mapping out the damaged insulation roofing materials as well as perfoming an integrity test on a newly installed roofing system.
Flat roof moisture survey inspections provide the diagnostic information necessary for developing effective roof maintenance programs planning of annual capital budgets and for making better informed decisions when considering roof repairs resurfacing or replacement.

Moisture surveys are conducted using a prelocated grid pattern throughout the roof area at which the device is placed and readings are recorded.
The grid pattern is typically 5 to 10 feet apart.
Ir analyzers state of the art impedance surveys test both capacitance and resistance for the most accurate results in a wide range of materials and constructions.
8 inches and you have an 8 in 12 pitch.
The infrared survey will be scheduled for an upcoming evening for the team to come back usually around dusk.
