Electronic Leak Detection
What it is
Electronic Leak Detection (ELD), also known as electronic roof integrity testing, uses electrical testing methods to help locate breaches in suitable flat roofing membranes. We offer wet and dry testing, with the approach chosen to suit the roof system and survey conditions.
What it can help with
An ELD survey can help investigate suspected water ingress and identify areas of a compatible membrane that may need closer inspection. Suitability depends on the roof build-up and materials, so we’ll discuss these before recommending a test.
Moisture Mapping
What it is
Moisture Mapping surveys identify and record areas within a roof structure that may contain trapped moisture. The survey approach depends on the roof construction, materials and site conditions.
What it can help with
A moisture map can give clients and contractors a clearer picture of where areas of concern may be, helping inform decisions about further investigation, repair or replacement. Findings should be considered alongside the roof’s overall condition and any other available evidence.
Drone Surveys
What it is
Drone Surveys use UAV technology to capture aerial images of roofs and building envelopes. They can provide views of large or difficult-to-access areas, subject to suitable site and operating conditions.
What it can help with
Aerial imagery can help document visible roof conditions and provide a useful visual record for review and planning. A drone survey is a visual inspection; further close-up inspection or testing may be needed to confirm suspected defects.
Thermal Imaging Roof Surveys
What it is
Thermal Imaging Roof Surveys use infrared cameras to record temperature patterns across a roof. Under suitable conditions, these patterns may highlight areas that need further investigation.
What it can help with
The survey may help investigate possible moisture-related anomalies, insulation concerns or other areas of difference across the roof. Results depend on the roof and survey conditions, and thermal patterns alone do not confirm a specific defect. Further checks may be appropriate.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the roof construction, the issue you’re investigating and the information you need.
Electronic Leak Detection may help investigate a suspected leak through a compatible flat roof membrane.
Moisture Mapping can help identify areas of possible trapped moisture, while Drone Surveys provide aerial imagery and Thermal Imaging can highlight temperature patterns for further investigation.
We’ll discuss suitability with you.
It helps to share the roof type or construction, if known; what you’ve noticed and where; the site location; and any access restrictions. Photos, drawings or previous survey reports can also be useful.
That’s fine. Share what you know about the building and the issue, and we can discuss what further details may be needed to consider a suitable survey.
They’re optional, but can help us understand the roof and the areas of concern before discussing the survey.
No. Suitability depends on the roof construction, materials, condition and site requirements. We’ll discuss these factors before agreeing a survey.
No. Thermal imaging records temperature patterns that may point to areas for further investigation. The results need to be interpreted in context, and other checks may be appropriate.
