RECON-O-SENSE - Detect Hidden Roof Leaks Before It's Too Late
With RECON-O-SENSE, we offer a straightforward way to monitor hidden moisture within a commercial roof systems. Our patented sensor technology provides the following benefits:
✔ Clear Visual Alert: Simple, easy-to-use indicator that alerts you when moisture infiltrates
the roof system.
✔ Early Detection: Helps building owners and facility managers identify hidden wet insulation
before costly repairs are needed.
✔ Reliable Design: Specifically designed for low-slope commercial roof systems.
✔ Quick Installation: Installs in just five minutes per unit.
RECON-O-SENSE Moisture Detection System
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
✔ Continuous Monitoring – Works 24/7 with passive technology; no batteries or monitoring fees.
✔ Early Leak Detection – Catches hidden moisture before it escalates into costly damage
✔ Cost-Effective Repairs – Minimizes emergency repairs by addressing issues under warranty while they're minor.
✔ Extends Roof Lifespan – Extends the lifespan of roof system by maintaining optimal conditions.
✔ Energy Efficiency – Detects leaks early to prevent wet insulation, maximizing HVAC efficiency and reducing energy bills.
✔ Easy to Understand – When moisture is detected the indicator changes color from Green to Red.

How The RECON-O-SENSE System Works:
System Components:
- Internal Moisture Sensor: Installed beneath the roofing membrane.
- External Indicator: Mounted on the roofing membrane, directly above
the sensor for visual monitoring.
- No need for puncturing or damaging the roof membrane.
- This configuration facilitates non-invasive passive leak monitoring of the
roofing system.
Moisture Detection Process:
1. The RECON-O-SENSE system monitors moisture at the vapor barrier
level.
2. Moisture wicks across the insulation and accumulates at the vapor
barrier near the sensor.
3. Once moisture accumulates past a set threshold, it triggers the
RECON-O-SENSE sensor.
4. The magnetic display on the external indicator shifts from Green (Dry) to Red (Moisture detected) when the
threshold is reached.
5. Clear, visual alerts allows quick identification of the wet areas.
The RECON-O-Sense moisture detection system is designed for seamless integration into various commercial roofing environments, ensuring proactive leak prevention and early detection. Below are its primary applications:
Typical Application:
● Roof Projections – Near Roof curbs, HVAC units, vents, drains, walls, and other penetrations (where 80% of leaks originate).
● Under Equipment & Exhausts – Under Cooling towers, near hot-air exhaust systems, or hazardous machinery—allowing inspections from a safe distance.
● Rooftop Edges – The RECON-O-SENSE sensor can be viewed from 8 feet away, enhancing safety during edge inspections
● (Optional) Field Coverage – Can be strategically placed in open areas for extended monitoring.

RECON-O-SENSE Simplifies Roof Inspections
Roof inspections become effortless with the RECON-O-SENSE’s moisture detection system:
Quick & Easy Leak Detection:
- Strategically place RECON-O-SENSE sensors near rooftop equipment or other
critical areas.
- Provides maintenance personnel or inspectors an easy way to spot hidden
moisture.
- Quick & easy to understand: Each sensor has two states, Green (Dry) or Red (Wet).
- No need for expensive IR scans, capacitance meters, or destructive coring.
Early Leak Identification:
- Hidden moisture under membranes can go unnoticed for months or years.
- RECON-O-SENSE helps detect leaks early, preventing costly damages later.
Smart Maintenance & Asset Preservation:
- Integrate sensors into routine checks for proactive monitoring.
- Reduce reactive repair costs by catching issues before they escalate.
Roof Industry Statistics
- 40% of all building-related problems stem from water intrusion, primarily caused by roof leaks.
- While roof systems account for just 2% of the building construction costs, water damage makes up over 70% of construction litigation, often linked to roof failures.
- The leading causes of roof failures are improper design specs and poor installation, particularly around transitions, joints, terminations, and other penetrations not always professionally installed by contractors.
- Warranties do not guarantee proper installation or maintenance, they serve as legal contracts between owners and contractors but don’t replace quality workmanship.
- Most warranties do NOT cover the replacement of wet insulation (a costly repair), leaving owners vulnerable to financial losses from undiscovered moisture buildup under the roofing membrane.
- Rooftop service personnel performing HVAC, electrical, and mechanical repairs may accidentally puncture membranes without proper precautions, a common issue often overlooked in preventative maintenance programs.
RECON-O-SENSE Testimonial:
"Hi, I'm Rob from Direct Roofing and Waterproofing. We have found that the RECON-O-SENSE moisture
detector from No-Puncture has helped building owners avoid costly repairs and increased their confidence
in the longevity of their roof systems.
The RECON-O-SENSE moisture system is easy and fast for
the crew to install and can assist with their nightly tie-ins. It's an amazing technology that anyone
can
inspect without expert knowledge. Based on our experience, we recommend RECON-O-SENSE moisture system to
any building owners and property managers."
