Water leaks through the roof and building structure is a problem in many commercial establishments. It is estimated that almost 50% of newly built buildings in the UK encounter water leakage within the first year of building them. Over the years there have been many ways of detecting leaks in building structures, but one of the more effective methods of finding a leak has been through electronic testing rather than traditional methods.
Here is a look at why electronic leak detection testing is better than traditional methods of finding leaks.
Efficiency:
Electronic leak detection has the ability to detect the exact source of where the leak originates by taking advantage of the natural property of water to conduct electricity. Physically finding leaks and using flood detection cannot pinpoint the source effectively all the time, especially in large roof sections of a commercial establishment.
Time saving:
Traditional leak detection may take hours or even days to detect the leak (Involves draining and drying test area), but the electronic method does it in a few minutes. In the case of high-voltage testing, repairs can be completed immediately.
No issue of slopes:
Sloped decks in the building structure won’t be an easy place to test while conducting a flood test.
Less risk:
When a roof is renovated and test is conducted for water leak there is no risk of interior damage to the building structure or the drainage systems if the drains are unplugged. A far less amount of water is required in the electrical method.
