Roof Leaks

Détection des fuites de toit

We offer leak detection services on a vast array of roof types and materials. In most instances, we can test any roof construction ranging from exposed membrane, green or brown roofs, standing seam metallic systems to traditional tile and batten. We combine lots of leaks detection techniques to help us to identify roof leak location. These are some examples of some of the techniques that we use on a regular basis.

Imagerie thermique

Thermography is an extremely useful tool which allows us to assess subtle changes in levels of thermal radiation on the building surface. When assessing roofs, this help us identify issues such as entrapped moisture and defects which can encourage condensation to form such as thermal bridging.

Détection électronique des fuites (ELD)

Utilisé pour tester les membranes d'étanchéité exposées et non conductrices. Il s'agit d'une méthode très efficace et précise pour localiser les fuites sur les membranes.

Essais de fumée ou de gaz sous pression

Cette méthode utilise de la fumée ou un gaz inerte pour prouver les voies de fuite ou la porosité du matériau.

Essais d'inondation ou de teinture

Une méthode relativement simple pour identifier les fuites d'un élément. Cette image montre l'utilisation d'un colorant fluorescent sous la lumière UV pour prouver qu'une membrane de toit fuit.

Analyse des fuites par ultrasons

Cette méthode est particulièrement efficace pour évaluer les fuites sur les atriums vitrés et les puits de lumière.

Cartographie de l'humidité

Évaluation des niveaux d'humidité à travers les membranes pour aider à déterminer la propagation de l'humidité. Cela nous aide à confirmer l'étendue de la surface du toit qui nécessite une détection des fuites.

Résistance électronique

Utilisé pour évaluer l'emplacement approximatif des fuites dans les systèmes de toiture plantés et pavés. Cela nous permet d'indiquer l'emplacement des fuites avant que les membranes de couverture ne soient enlevées.

“We have used Trace Surveys to investigate issues at one of the buildings I manage in Epsom. Dean and Luke have been extremely helpful throughout, demonstrating a high level of expertise and professionalism. They took the time to explain their findings clearly and provided a thorough and efficient service. I would not hesitate to recommend Trace Surveys and look forward to working with them again in the future.”

“We were at the end of out tether with a continuous and long running leak issue on a flat roof extension, including a series of 'fixes' that may have made things worse. Trace Surveys and our inspector Luke took a scientific approach to the problem and identified clearly several key issues and had the technology to see the impact of the test. The report was clear on what needed to be done and easy to pass on to the right tradespeople to inform a better conversation on how to fix the issue. Luke Winconek was excellent, from his skill, manner and aftercare on how this issue is being resolved. I would recommend Trace Surveys and Luke in particular if you get to the point of needing to identify a complex issue and properly get to the root cause.”

“I honestly can’t recommend Trace Surveys highly enough. From the first enquiry through to completion, the entire process was handled professionally, efficiently, and with real attention to detail. Communication was clear throughout, no chasing, no confusion, just straightforward, honest advice and delivery exactly as promised. The quality of insoection is excellent. Everything was completed to a very high standard, on time, and with obvious a full detailed report. The team were punctual, respectful, and left everything clean and tidy, which makes a huge difference. They found a leak that others have looked for for years previous. What really stood out was their knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile. Any questions were answered thoroughly, and nothing felt like too much trouble. We now only use trace!”
