Find leaks in your roof with electronic leak detection at J. Villarreal Plumbing 

Concretely, an electronic leak detection or ELD is a service that allows the technicians to find leaks, of the size of a pinhole and even less in flat or low slope roofs. 

You see, in the past EPDM, MBR and similar flat roofing was considered unfixable, since finding a leak between the waterproofing membranes was almost impossible. By using electronic leak detection, this is not the case anymore. 

But, how does ELD work? Through specialized equipment, the electronic leak detection is performed by sending an electric pulse across the membrane. Now, the membrane itself is non-conductive, but moisture does and therefore it shows a path where possible leaks originated. 

The rate of accuracy in finding leaks of the size of a pinhole is within millimeters, which is ideal and gives a precise approximation on where the issue is and addresses it properly. In many cases, ELD is also known as the “wet test”, since this procedure may require water or not to be carried out. This depends on the equipment that is being utilized at any given point. 

At J. Villarreal Plumbing, electronic leak detection services are at your disposal. Along with the specialized equipment, we consider even more important the hands that operate such tools to carry out the ELD task.

ELD service offers plenty of advantages and benefits in general from different perspectives. These are some of the reasons why electronic leak detection is recommendable for most homeowners with low slope or flat roof-based properties: 

• Non-invasive: ELD avoids other more invasive methods of leak detection, which in some cases involve getting through the membrane or ceiling to reach a leak or pipe. it works for EPDM, MRB and more types of roofs. 
• Precision and accuracy: this technology is able to detect leaks within millimeters, pinhole sized or even smaller, but enough for water to get through. This margin of error is perfect to discover leak origins and finally patch it. 
• More secure: more traditional testing and detection procedures to find roof issues are dangerous. ELD is way more secure and getting on the roof will be only to address the problem directly. 
• Perfect for maintenance: roofs require maintenance. An electronic leak detection can find holes and damages that while are not leaking yet, they might in the future. So, such problems can be addressed quickly.
