Proven methods to determine the condition of old wood plank decking
Proven methods to determine the condition of old wood plank decking
(OP)
I have an older manufacturing facility with a wood plank decking roof covered with a layer of gravel and tar and metal sheathing on top. The insurance company has asked for an analysis of the decking to determine if any needs to be replaced due to moisture content or deterioration. Is there a proven method to test for such damage, without completely tearing the roof apart and taking samples?

If the concern is the structure's ability to resist a snow load, obtain the services of a structural engineer.
