Leak detection and investigation
Electronic leak detection
Moisture penetration within flat roof construction is difficult to locate. Our electronic leak detection will locate breaches & penetrations.
Our leak detection service provides a non-invasive way to detect multiple defects including pin-hole leaks in the waterproofing of your building to millimetre accuracy. Knowing exactly where the problems let our surveyors provide targeted and effective reports, which give you an affordable alternative to a complete roof replacement.
Dry test
This test can only be performed in dry conditions and works well on new builds.
Wet test
This test is performed in wet conditions (rainfall) or with a hosed-down wetted test area.
Our leak investigation methods
There are different methods that help our roof expert to locate any leaks, our methods have been designed to help with any roof type.
Rainfall Simulation
Rainfall Simulation is used as a controlled localised, targeted detection system.
Flood Testing
Flood testing is the oldest, simplest and most basic method of testing the integrity of a roof.
Rainwater outlet testing
An inadequate or blocked rainwater outlet can result in costly repairs if issues are not dealt with quickly.
Dye Tracing
The use of washable dyes assists in tracing water ‘pathways’, to the direction of the source
