Efvm may be used with protected and conventional membrane assemblies.
Roof membrane leak detection.
Clogged drains gutters and downspouts can increase the weight load on the roof speed up the deterioration of the roof membrane cause leaks and leads to the growth of algae.
We had to remove shingles to make way for a broader rubber roof membrane.
Breaches are found by detecting a water path to building ground.
Electronic leak detection requires three conditions for accurate testing.
Condensation within a roof insulation system is a typical example in which the capacitance meter readings will be elevated with no associated roof leak as a cause of the elevated readings.
Monitor the membrane utilizing sensors embedded below the overburden for accurate and reliable leak detection ensures peace of mind and the longest lifespan for the roof building or structure the best electronic leak detection eld system for a green roof a permascan system may also be referred to as a leak location grid or a leak locate array.
This testing technique requires that the test membrane be dry the assembly be uniform in its materials and their thicknesses and that water be in the system to provide differential readings at relative dry and wet areas.
