Leak detection surveys are more than just a means of preservation; they are key in preventing extensive and costly repairs in the future.
Utilising advanced technologies and methodologies, our surveys are designed to accurately identify leaks, even in hidden areas.
This ensures a prompt and targeted response, helping to safeguard the physical assets of a structure and maintain the integrity of the indoor environment, thereby avoiding problems like mould growth and poor air quality.
In cases of water ingress from roof structures, our team at Kingsley Roofing London is equipped to conduct thorough Leak Detection Surveys. Our approach includes three distinct methods, selected based on the specific needs of your property:
Dye Testing
This method involves using coloured water and dyes to trace and identify the source of leaks.
It's particularly effective in visually determining the path of water ingress.
Electronic Leak Detection (ELD)
ELD employs electronic equipment to detect leaks.
This method is highly effective in identifying breaches in waterproof membranes, especially in areas that are not visually accessible.
Moisture Mapping
This technique involves mapping the moisture content in various parts of the roof to identify leak-prone areas.
It's useful for understanding the extent and severity of water ingress.
Vector Mapping
Specifically used for buried systems, such as green roofs, brown roofs, or ballasted roofs, where the waterproofing is not directly visible.
Vector mapping is crucial for these complex systems to precisely locate leaks.
Our selection of leak detection methods depends on various factors, including the type of roof, the extent of suspected water ingress, and the specific construction of your building. Following an initial survey, we recommend either a single method or a combination of techniques to most effectively address your needs.
