The Importance of Leak Detection

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.

Comprehensive Approach to LDS

In cases of water ingress from roof structures, our team at Sussex Asphalte 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.
