PROJECT CASE STUDY

Leak diagnostics isolated defects in a newly installed membrane.

Waterseal investigated reported leaks in a newly installed suspended-slab membrane at a Thornlie childcare centre using non-destructive diagnostic methods.

THE CHALLENGE

The source of ingress was concealed within a new slab membrane.

Leaks had been reported through a newly installed membrane over a suspended slab. Because the breach locations were not visible at the surface, the investigation needed to identify likely defect areas without unnecessary destructive opening.

THE SOLUTION

HVELD testing supported by thermal imaging.

Waterseal used high-voltage electronic leak detection as one diagnostic method, supported by thermal imaging, to locate and identify the source areas associated with the reported ingress.

THE OUTCOME

Evidence was gathered to guide targeted repairs.

The non-destructive investigation narrowed the likely membrane defects and provided a clearer basis for directing the next repair stage.
