Last week, our engineer Ben attended a newly built property in Peckham where the client had been experiencing two ongoing leaks.
Unfortunately, the original builder had not been particularly helpful in addressing the client’s concerns, and the client had also consulted independent contractors who recommended stripping back the roof and coping stones and starting again, understandably at a very significant cost.
At AET, we carried out a full leak investigation using a range of non invasive testing methods, including electronic leak detection on the waterproofing, integrity testing of the outlets, and simulated rainfall testing across the building envelope details.
Following our investigation, we achieved 100% results on both leaks and were able to accurately identify the true source of the water ingress issues. The defects were traced back to the door thresholds and not the waterproofing system as the client had previously been advised.
Providing the service we do removes the guesswork from complex water ingress issues. The client now has a clear, evidence based report which can be handed back to the original builder to rectify the defects properly and finally bring these ongoing issues to a resolution.
