Get Your New Roof Certified by the Experts. Fast.
As an architect, designer, or spec writer, you need your new roof certified in a timely and professional manner and you don’t have time or budget for mistakes and inexperience.
Atlantic Leak has located over 18,000 leaks and is New York’s most experienced and trusted roof certifier. Our expert technicians use the most sensitive detection equipment available and use one of the two non-destructive leak detection methods listed below based on your roof’s specifications.
Atlantic can provide you with Division 7 roof test specifications. We’ve written 3 test specs that will ensure your roof is defect-free and can be certified as such.
- High-voltage testing is the preferred testing method for flat roofs using all waterproofing membranes except EPDM and aluminum-coated roofs
- Requires no water of any kind
- Pinpoints the exact location(s) of a roof leak
- Allows you to only repair damaged area
HIGH-VOLTAGE TESTING
How It Works
Electricity at a very low current is applied across your roof. If the current passes through a hole or breach of your roof’s waterproof membrane, the testing unit will make an audible sound indicating the location of the leak.
LOW-VOLTAGE TESTING
How It Works
A conductive boundary cable is laid around the perimeter of your roof. Then the roof membrane is sprayed down with a thin layer of water. If a short circuit occurs, a leak has been detected.
- Low-voltage testing can be performed on most flat roof surfaces such as single-ply membranes, hot melt systems, liquid applied systems, built-up felt systems, asphalt, torch down, silicone, and white EPDM is an effective option when a non-conductive membrane is installed over a conductive deck assembly
- Requires very little water
- Pinpoints the exact location(s) of a roof leak
- Allows you to only repair damaged area
