Reliable 3rd Party Flat Roof Membrane Integrity Testing

We are your trusted team for third-party Flat Roof Membrane integrity testing, following the standards set by LABC, Premier Guarantee, and NHBC. We ensure your roof, whether new or existing, meets British Standards 6229: 2018 and NHBC Chapter 7.1 specifications. NHBC Chapter 7.1.9 advises visual and electronic testing of roofing membranes to ensure waterproof integrity before adding more layers. Our thorough inspections find and fix any faults, guaranteeing superior waterproofing. Premier Guarantee’s guidelines in section 7.11.15.2 stress the importance of third-party integrity testing for green roofs, requiring the waterproof membrane to be tested independently before further application. Our roof surveys are exhaustive, covering roof penetrations, terminations, equipment mounts, membrane conditions, perimeter flashing, and parapet wall coping. We ensure that every aspect affecting water tightness is inspected and evaluated. Although vacuum testing is effective for off-site manufactured membrane seams, it is not recommended for flat roof integrity testing. We provide customised services to meet your project’s unique needs, offering full Health and Safety Plans, Risk Assessments, and Method Statements, delivering a comprehensive O&M Manual upon completion, ensuring every project is thoroughly documented and secure.

Flat Roof Leak Detection FAQs

Why do waterproofing membranes fail?

Waterproofing membranes usually fail due to poor Waterproofing Application Technique. The application of waterproofing membranes is labor-intensive that requires skilled applicators. If the material is not applied correctly, it may not form a proper seal or may not bond adequately to the surface. Additionally, applying too little or too much material can result in an uneven surface or coverage that may compromise the integrity of the waterproofing. Most failed waterproofing installation is due to poor workmanship – which accounts for 90% of waterproofing membrane's failure. However,

Are Flat Roof leak detection companies worth it?

When it comes to determining if a flat roof leak detection company is worth it, there is an upfront cost to hiring them, but it's important to consider the potential savings in the long run. Unaddressed leaks can lead to extensive water damage, mold growth, and structural issues that can be far more expensive to repair.

Do green roofs need maintenance?

For most extensive green roofs, two to three maintenance visits per year are advised. You'll need to check the structural integrity of the roof, drainage systems, irrigation systems and, of course, the health and vitality of the vegetative layer.

What is a flat roof integrity test?

Flat roof integrity testing refers to the process of assessing the structural soundness and performance of flat roofs. This testing is crucial to ensure that the roof can withstand various weather conditions and effectively protect the building beneath it.

How does electronic roof leak detection work?

Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) is a portable quality control testing procedure designed to locate discontinuities (breaches, holes, seam voids) in waterproofing and roofing membranes. ELD determines the location of the breaches by applying an electrical current to the surface of the exposed membrane.
