We use state of the art equipment to find the source of water ingress:
The Three Stages of Leak Detection:
Visual Defects:
We gain access to the leak location, and its corresponding location on the building envelope and identify the cause.
Intrusive investigations:
If the leak is complex or has multiple points of entry, we carry out intrusive investigations such as removal of flashings, cappings or membranes to inspect concealed areas within the building envelope.
Full investigations:
If the leak cannot be identified by the above investigations, further works such as removing brickwork and inspecting cavity trays may be required. At this stage we guarantee to find the source of ingress and provide a report with recommendations to resolve the issue as this may identify design defects which may not be apparent during visual inspections.
