Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Flood Barriers

A water leak detector for flat roofs is a specialized device designed to identify and pinpoint the entry points of leaks in flat roof systems. These detectors utilize advanced technology to detect water intrusion and can provide early warning of potential leaks before they cause significant damage.

The detector uses electronic leak detection technology to locate leaks with high precision. It scans the roof surface, identifying defects, porosity, and entry points of water. This method is significantly faster and more accurate than traditional leak detection methods.

The flat roof leak detector is compatible with various non-conductive flat roof coverings, including:

• Concrete roof decks

• Steel roof decks

• Timber roof decks

Note: EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) cannot be tested due to its carbon content, which makes it conductive.

• Accurate detection: Identifies leaks with high precision, ensuring no water infiltration point is missed.

• Speed: Can scan up to 1000 square meters per hour under ideal conditions, significantly reducing inspection time.

• Cost-effective: Early and accurate leak detection prevents extensive water damage, saving on repair costs.

• Non-invasive: The detection process does not damage the roof, maintaining its integrity.

Under ideal conditions, the flat roof leak detector can scan up to 1000 square meters per hour. This swift and efficient process allows for thorough inspections in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods.

Advanced electronics provide a level of accuracy that far surpasses traditional methods. This technology can pinpoint the exact location of leaks, allowing for targeted repairs and reducing the guesswork associated with older techniques.

Early detection and repair of roof leaks are crucial to prevent water damage, structural deterioration, and mold growth. Prompt action ensures the longevity and safety of the roofing system and the property it protects.

The detector is suitable for most non-conductive flat roof coverings, such as concrete, steel, and timber. However, it is not effective on EPDM roofs due to the material's conductive properties.

Signs that your flat roof may need a leak detection service include visible water stains on ceilings, unexplained moisture or mold growth, and any indication of water ingress after rainfall. Regular inspections can also help in proactive maintenance.
