Introduction

Paramount Roofing Systems offers advanced electronic leak detection testing services for flat roofs, providing precise identification of damages and defects. This state-of-the-art method ensures accurate detection, comprehensive reporting, and effective solutions to maintain the integrity of your roof.

 

Electronic Leak Detection Testing Process

 

1. Initial Assessment and Preparation

Paramount Roofing Systems begins with a thorough initial assessment of your flat roof to understand its condition and prepare for the electronic leak detection process. This involves:

 

- Visual inspection to identify obvious signs of damage or wear.

- Cleaning the roof surface to ensure accurate testing.

- Setting up safety measures to protect both the technicians and the roof.

​

​

2. Electronic Leak Detection Method

Using advanced electronic leak detection equipment, Paramount Roofing Systems employs either low-voltage or high-voltage methods, depending on the roof type and condition:

 

Low-Voltage Testing: This method involves wetting the roof surface to create a conductive path for the low-voltage current. Electrodes are placed on the roof, and the current is used to detect breaches in the membrane. The equipment pinpoints the exact location of leaks or weak spots.

  

High-Voltage Testing: Suitable for dry conditions, this method involves using a high-voltage brush to scan the roof surface. When the brush encounters a breach, the current flows through the defect, allowing precise location detection.

​

3. Data Collection and Analysis

The electronic leak detection process generates real-time data, which is collected and analysed by Paramount’s skilled technicians. This includes:

 

- Identifying and mapping the exact locations of leaks, punctures, and other defects.

- Assessing the severity of the damage and potential impact on the roof’s integrity.
