Rogers Arena is downtown Vancouver's central sports and entertainment venue, home to the Vancouver Canucks and host to more than 200 events a year. Ownership retained Pinpoint to complete a full qualitative roof moisture survey ahead of budget planning for the building's next roofing cycle — combining ground-truthed moisture probing with airborne infrared imaging to locate subsurface moisture invisible from the surface.
Pinpoint's field team scanned 100% of the main roof surface using a Tramex RWS moisture scanner, cross-checked against DJI Mavic 3T infrared drone imagery per ASTM C1153, D7954, and D7945-15A protocols. Anomalies were walked, hand-verified, and marked directly on the membrane, then logged to a plan-view drawing for the roofing contractor.
The survey identified two active membrane splits on the upper roof facing Expo Blvd, already tracking moisture into the building interior — cleaned, primed, and repaired on site the same day. Around rooftop equipment and a lower EPDM section, infrared and probe readings confirmed a combined 300+ sq ft of wet insulation, concentrated at HVAC curbs, a failed EPDM seam, and legacy patch areas. Membrane and flashing condition were both graded D — 2 to 4 years of remaining service life across the assessed system. Given the moisture already trapped beneath the membrane, Pinpoint recommended targeted repairs now to prevent further deck and structural exposure ahead of full roof replacement planning.
