SKA Engineers Now Offers Electronic Leak Detection

SKA Consulting Engineers announced the newest service offering from its Building Solutions Group, IntegriScan+ electronic leak detection. The IntegriScan+ is a point in time, quality control Electronic Leak Detection (ELD) testing service that confirms the integrity of the waterproofing/roofing membrane installation. IntegriScan+ utilizes low voltage electronic leak detection (ELD) scanning equipment which is operated on a wet surface.

Leaky roofs are a serious but surprisingly common problem. The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) estimates that up to 40% of all flat roofs will develop serious problems within the first year of installation. These leaks can cost businesses billions of dollars annually, with damage ranging from minor water stains and electrical outages to complete structural failure.
