Leak detection & repair

Water appearing inside a building may have travelled through the façade before it becomes visible. A careful investigation helps identify the defect before repair work is agreed.

How we help

A clear process from assessment to handover.

01

Investigation

We survey the affected area and review the reported symptoms, façade construction and access requirements.

02

Controlled testing

Water testing helps locate the route of ingress so the repair can address the cause.

03

Repair and verification

We agree the work, prepare RAMS and re-test the repaired area before sign-off.

Scope & suitability

Curtain walling, aluminium façades, window and door interfaces, seals and glazing details.

What should I send with my enquiry?

Include the site address, where the water appears, when it happens and any photographs or previous reports. The team will explain which information is useful for the initial survey.

Water ingress through windows, glazing and curtain walling

Water ingress means unwanted water entering the building. The damp patch indoors may be some distance from the external defect: water can track through joints, cavities and adjoining construction before it becomes visible.

Our investigations consider perimeter and movement joints, glazing gaskets and beads, cladding interfaces, drainage and weep holes, cavity trays, damp-proof courses, copings, flashings and membrane laps. The relevant checks depend on the building and the evidence found on site.

Controlled testing, targeted repairs, recorded results

We test defined areas with a controlled low-pressure hose, working from lower zones upwards while an operative observes inside. The results help connect an external test area to the internal water path. After an agreed repair and any required curing time, we re-test and record the findings.

Can a water test always reproduce the leak?

No. Some leaks depend on wind direction, rainfall or more than one defect. If the leak cannot be reproduced during the visit, further monitoring or another test may be needed. A dry test result relates to the areas and conditions tested.
