Building Leak Detection Services

Leaks in your property can cause significant damage if not identified and addressed promptly. Whether it’s a minor roof leak or hidden moisture within walls, undetected water issues can lead to costly repairs and long-term structural damage. At Total Inspection, we offer comprehensive building leak detection services that include roof inspections, water testing, and advanced thermal and moisture testing to ensure that your property remains safe and dry.

Roof Inspection

Your roof is the first line of defense against water intrusion. Regular roof inspections are crucial for identifying potential issues before they become major problems. Our expert inspectors thoroughly examine your roof for signs of wear and tear, including:

  • Roof linings

    Tiles that are cracked or missing, ridge or barge capping that is cracked or bedding is compromised, Iron sheet roofing condition, ridge, barge or general flashings, box gutter or parapet capping. All which can allow water to penetrate your roof.

  • Flashing Issues

    Improperly installed or damaged flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can lead to leaks.

  • Gutter Blockages

    Clogged gutters can cause water to back up under the roof, leading to leaks and water damage.

By identifying these issues early, our roof inspections help you avoid costly repairs and maintain the integrity of your home.

Shower, Bathroom or Wet Area Inspection

Our shower, bathroom, and wet area inspections are designed to detect hidden leaks that can cause significant damage over time. Using advanced thermal imaging and moisture testing, we identify water intrusion in tiles, grout, and plumbing to prevent mold growth and costly repairs. Protect your home with our expert leak detection services.

Water Testing

Water testing is an essential part of our leak detection services. It involves simulating rain conditions to trace the source of leaks in your property. Our team uses controlled water spraying techniques to replicate heavy rain and identify where water may be entering the building. This method is particularly effective for detecting leaks around windows, doors, and other openings.

Thermal and Moisture Testing

Leaks are often hidden behind walls or under floors, making them difficult to detect without advanced tools. Our thermal and moisture testing services use state-of-the-art technology to uncover hidden water issues:

  • Thermal Imaging

    This technology detects temperature variations in your property, revealing areas where water may be present. Cold spots often indicate moisture accumulation, which could lead to mold growth and structural damage if not addressed.

  • Moisture Meters

    Our moisture meters accurately measure the moisture content in building materials, helping to identify areas of concern that are not visible to the naked eye.

These non-invasive testing methods allow us to detect leaks without causing damage to your property, providing peace of mind and ensuring that all potential water issues are identified.

Protecting your property from water damage begins with proactive leak detection. At Total Inspection, our comprehensive services, including roof inspections, water testing, and thermal and moisture testing, ensure that your home remains dry and secure.
