Leak Investigations

Expert Roof Leak Investigation & Repair

Got a persistent water leak and can't find the source?

Don't let water damage disrupt your home or business operations.

Our expert team specializes in non-destructive leak investigations for a wide range of properties, from residential homes to large-scale commercial roofing projects.

As experienced roofing technicians, we use a combination of advanced methods to ensure pinpoint accuracy for your roof repair or roof replacement.

Why is leak detection so critical?

A leaking roof in a commercial or public building can lead to significant disruptions and costly consequences, including:

Damage to expensive equipment and inventory.
Disruption to business operations.
Safety hazards for employees, students, or visitors.
Costly and unnecessary repairs.

Our roofing services are designed to address these concerns, providing rapid, accurate solutions that protect your assets and maintain business continuity.

As a trusted company, we work on a variety of properties, including schools, factories, apartments, warehouses, and other commercial buildings.

Thermal Imaging & Moisture Mapping

Our advanced leak investigations begin with a detailed analysis of your roof using thermal imaging and moisture mapping.

We use high-tech infrared cameras to detect subtle temperature differences on your roof's surface.

Because wet insulation and trapped moisture retain heat longer than dry areas, we can produce a detailed heat map of your roof, floors, and walls.

This allows us to precisely locate hidden leaks and saturated insulation, without having to perform any destructive guesswork.

Our reports include this moisture map, giving you a clear visual of the problem areas.

Electronic Leak Detection (ELD)

Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) tests are a highly accurate, non-destructive method for pinpointing pinhole leaks in a roof’s waterproofing membrane.

This technology allows us to identify defects with pinpoint accuracy, providing a targeted and effective solution rather than a complete roof replacement.

We offer two types of ELD tests for a comprehensive roof inspection:

The Dry Test: Ideal for use on any flat or low-pitched roof in dry conditions, this test uses a specialized brush to deliver a low-voltage current across the membrane. If a breach is found, a visual spark or audible tone immediately alerts the operator, marking the exact spot for repair or patch work.

The Wet Test: This method is designed to identify imperfections in exposed or ballasted roofing systems and is performed in wet conditions.

A pulsed voltage flows through the moisture on the roof's surface and is drawn to the point of a leak, allowing our operator to trace the flow back to its precise source.

Water testing & Rainfall Simulation

If during a leak investigation it is believed that the source of ingress is coming from somewhere other than the roof, we will carry out water testing & rainfall simulation.

Each point of concern is tested separately, with different colored dyes to help identify the exact location of the water ingress.

We then provide you with a full, detailed report of our findings and a clear plan of action.
