Building Leak Investigations

USING ADVANCED METHODS TO DETECT LEAKS

Detecting leaks across the UK 

Specialising in commercial and large residential properties 

We offer this service when a there is a known leak somewhere in a building and the source needs to be identified.

 

We work on both new or old buildings of any size, but our speciality is in commercial buildings or large domestic buildings such as blocks of flats, hospitals, factories, sports centres and public buildings such as libraries.

 

Leaks can manifest in any part of a building such as beneath the roof, through a wall, above windows, or into the basement. We will identify the source of the leak and advise our clients on the necessary repairs required to resolve the problem

How We Test

How We Test

There are many possible leak sources from the roof waterproofing and glazing to  cladding and poorly sealed pipe penetrations, therefore we have a range of testing methods that we use to resolve the problem quickly and efficiently, depending on where the leak is.

ELECTRONIC LEAK DETECTION

This is a non-destructive test used to determine the integrity of waterproofing systems as a whole, locating any breaches therein...

MOISTURE PROFILES

This process uses an electrical capacitance technique, whereby electric discharge is reflected back by moisture, thus allowing high levels of moisture to be detected below the waterproofing membrane without disturbing it....

BOROSCOPE INSPECTIONS

This is a diagnostic tool for checking and inspecting wall cavities and similar areas as there can be many different problems deep inside that can lead to building leaks...

FLOOD TESTING

This has been superseded by electronic testing but can still used where finishes are in place and electronic testing is impractical....

SIMULATED RAINFALL TEST

This technique is often used in conjunction with other tests to recreate a leak or confirm the integrity of a particular suspect item....

ULTRASOUND TESTING

This test is to determine air paths in impermeable sections of the building envelope, especially glazing and curtain walling...

Building Under Construction

Our Reports

A comprehensive test report covering all areas and marked up plan will be issued for each roof and test area completed at completion of the project.
