Electronic leak detection (ELD) offers several key advantages over traditional leak detection methods, making it a more reliable and efficient choice for safeguarding waterproof membranes. Unlike water-flood testing or visual inspections, which can miss small leaks or provide only limited coverage, ELD uses advanced technology to precisely locate breaches in the membrane. Systems like Detec’s IntegriScan create an electrical circuit over the membrane, and when a breach is present, the current passes through, providing an immediate and accurate signal of where the leak is. This real-time feedback allows for faster, more targeted repairs and eliminates the need for invasive or destructive testing methods.

Traditional methods, such as flood testing, require large amounts of water and often only detect leaks that cause visible water damage. This process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. In contrast, ELD provides 100% coverage of the membrane, including hard-to-reach areas, ensuring that no portion of the waterproofing system is left unchecked. Additionally, because ELD is non-destructive, it preserves the integrity of the membrane, preventing further damage that could arise from intrusive testing methods.

By offering greater precision, faster results, and more comprehensive coverage, electronic leak detection not only saves time and labor but also reduces the long-term costs associated with undetected leaks and subsequent repairs. This makes ELD a superior solution for both new construction and ongoing maintenance of waterproofing systems, ensuring long-lasting protection for your building.
