Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) in Richmond

Electronic leak detection — low-voltage and high-voltage methods — pinpoints membrane breaches on flat and low-slope roof assemblies. Low-voltage (vector mapping) works through standing water on conductive substrates; high-voltage (spark testing) finds pinholes on dry, non-conductive membranes. We deliver these for new-construction membrane acceptance testing, post-installation due diligence, and leak investigation on existing roofs.

What rain leaks typically finds in Richmond

Flat-roof moisture investigations on numerous big-box and warehouse properties, tower mechanical-room failures.

Richmond's built environment — low-rise wood-frame condos, single-family on small lots, City Centre high-rises, agricultural in east Richmond — shapes how electronic leak detection (eld) is delivered locally. Richmond sits at 1 m above sea level on the Fraser delta. The high water table makes slab leaks and basement seepage common, and the dyke-protected drainage system means stormwater issues quickly become structural ones. Construction is largely 1980s–2000s with growing concrete-tower density in City Centre.
