Monitored waterproofing systems for peace of mind.

If a car worth £30k will tell you about low tyre pressure, surely £30m buildings should tell you if there’s a leak in your roof or basement!

Vector design, commission and monitor permanent leak detection systems. Our solutions deliver genuine quality assurance that protect buildings and reputations.

Why do main contractors engage us?

  • Compliance with best practice which demands permanent leak detection (including BS 8102 and CIRIA C817).
  • Quality assurance which allows determination of when and where the leak occurred (bringing clarity on which sub-contractor is responsible).
  • Enhanced peace of mind and confidence for developers, insurers and occupants.

System design
Vector consult with and validate the architect’s waterproofing design and collaborate to provide a Permanent Leak Detection system. We partner several innovators (including Texplor and Sensor Innovation) to develop bespoke solutions depending on each situation.

Installation & Quality Assurance
Vector train the roofing contractor and oversee installation of the sensor array. At the same time, we provide comprehensive quality assurance on the waterproofing installation.

Robust monitoring 
As well as monitoring the roof (or relevant building element) through a cloud portal with automated alarms; Vector completes comprehensive bi-annual inspections to provide compliance with BS 6229 and manufacturer guarantee stipulations.

In the event that a leak does occur, Vector is on hand to identify the defect location and ensure quality remedial measures are completed.

CLT Structures

Sensor Innovation have developed an outstanding system which measures wood moisture content (WME) wirelessly for years (up to 20).

This allows for installation of sensors within concealed elements of timber structures (including under roof waterproofing).

These systems provide essential reassurance to developers, occupiers and insurers that decay is not a risk.
