Buried Leak Detection
Avoid full strip-out. Locate defects. Minimise cost & disruption.
Waterproofing beneath basements, green roofs, podium decks and other concealed structures is inaccessible making repair difficult. Without expert detection, defects can lead to retention being withheld, long running disputes, significant expense and reputational damage.
At Vector, we apply unique leak-detection technology developed by our partners, Texplor, to locate defects with minimal disruption. We deliver a clear leak-map allowing for localised remediation rather than full system replacement.
Why do aftercare managers love us?
- Resolution of long running issues
- Minimal disruption without the need to expose waterproofing
- Reduction in cost and programme as localised repair is enabled (rather than wholesale replacement)
Our Process
Initial survey & scoping
We attend site, review as-built drawings, look for obvious defects, and confirm Buried Leak Detection is suitable for each situation.Sensor deployment
A grid of advanced electrical sensors is installed across the suspect roof, podium or other buried building element.Analysis & mapping
Data is collected and thoroughly analysed and presented in an easy to understand ‘heat map’ showing defect locations and areas for investigation.Delivery of report & recommendations
We provide a professional report including recommendations for further investigation.
We can also investigate once the waterproofing is exposed, provide quality assurance on repairs and even design and commission Permanent Leak Detection to monitor the roof for future leaks – giving long term peace of mind.
