RAM CONSULTANCY LTD
LEAK INVESTIGATIONS


Roof leaks can be very expensive in respect of human resources and loss of valuable stock or resources from the resulting water damage. RAM undertake site investigations including identification of the water entry pathways by a combination of non-destructive electronic testing, visual inspection & water penetration with the use of a fluorescent dye which assists in the tracing of the water paths.

These methods are also used in conjunction with our Endoscope equipment with which we can actually see the water entry pathways within an enclosed area, for example cavity walls. This enables us to identify specific targeted repairs to resolve the leaks, negating the need for expensive repeated patch repairs by a roofing contractor

Roof Leaks The use of fluorescent dyes assist in tracing water 'paths'. In this instance testing around a suspect cable entry point through the roof proved water was tracking over the concrete deck and reappearing 15m away at the joint of the structural deck and perimeter wall.
In this instance the dye assisted in tracing the water of a suspect roof upstand and confirmed that that the water had entered the wall cavity and reappeared via the cavity tray on the external wall face.
