Locating moisture in flat roofing systems, tracking leaks and determining the cause of these problems can be difficult, time consuming and costly for the roofing contractor, consultant or maintenance engineer.

The source of a roof leak can be difficult to trace in roofing systems. Moisture can travel a long distance from the point of entry to where it eventually seeps into the building.

Leaks cause damage to the structure and contents of the building and can also cause disintegration of the roofing systems, necessitating expensive repairs or replacement. The thermal performance of roof insulation is dramatically reduced when it is wet. This leads to increased costs of heating and air-conditioning. Tramex offers cost effective tools to remedy this situation.

Leak Seeker

NON-DESTRUCTIVE MOISTURE DETECTION AND LEAK TRACING IN FLAT ROOFING - NOW AVAILABLE AS THE NEW RWS

The Leak Seeker is designed to locate moisture beneath the water-proof layer of the roof, without cutting the surface. An audible and visible signal simplifies the job of tracing the moisture back to the point of entry.

Regular inspection of the roof with the Leak Seeker will enable moisture penetration to be pin-pointed before the leak causes extensive damage to the roof system and contents of the building. The Leak Seeker provides a quick, accurate and uncomplicated way of moisture testing and leak tracing in most types of single ply and built up roofing systems.

A portable hand held instrument for non-destructive surveying, moisture detection and leak tracking in built up and single ply roofing. Suitable for use on most types of roofing with a non-conductive roof membrane. It will detect through up to 50mm of gravel surfacing

Now after 30 years, the Leak Seeker for Roofing has been combined with the Wet Wall Detector for EIFS forming the New RWS / Roof Wall Scanner adding greater versatility and depth of signal penetration in foam insulation and roofing. Roof and Wall Scanner

Benefits: Designed and developed specifically for the Roofing Industry Easy and safe to use No regulatory restrictions or operating license required Faster than other systems and functions during the day time hours Instant clear reading Works on smooth or ballasted roofing Inexpensive to purchase and operate Leak tracking back to source Roof Moisture surveying Preventive maintenance programming Quality control and warranty auditing Monitoring repairs and re-roofing work. Not for use on conductive membranes such as EPDM and Butyl Rubber

RWS Roof and Wall Moisture Scanner

A multi-mode hand held moisture detection instrument for non-destructive moisture scanning, surveying, and leak tracing in the building envelope, including built up, non-conductive single ply membranes, modified and foam roofing systems and EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems) with a non-conductive roof membrane. This instrument is a combination of the popular Tramex Leak-Seeker and the Wet Wall Detector at a great price.

Benefits: Built-Up Non-Conductive Single Ply Modified and Foamed Roofing Systems Exterior Insulation and Finishing Systems (EIFS)

Also available in Kit form

RWS Roof and Wall Moisture Kit with PTM

Multi-mode moisture scanner for non-destructive moisture detection and leak tracing in the building envelope including:

Benefits: Built-Up Non-Conductive Single Ply Modified and Foamed Roofing Systems Exterior Insulation and Finishing Systems (EIFS)

DEC Scanner

Roofing systems consist of decking covered with a layer or more of insulation which, in turn, is covered with a layer of waterproof membrane. The longevity and insulating properties of the roof are dependent on keeping the insulation dry. Therefore it is essential to regularly examine the roof for mechanical damage, weathering, ingress of water, etc.

The Dec Scanner has been designed specifically to detect leaks and determine if moisture penetration has taken place. The Dec Scanner is a completely non-hazardous, lightweight, portable instrument. It is reliable, easy to use and yields good information.

Benefits Designed for non-destructive testing of built up roofing and non-conductive single ply membrane. Able to detect as little as 2% excess moisture Instantaneous, clear indications of roof conditions 3 scales of operation for all roof types Continuous operation for uninterupted coverage Locates boundaries of wet areas in minutes More than twice as fast as nuclear meters, able to test thinner roofs, and no license required A fraction of the cost of airborne and on the roof infra-red systems Easy to use, no training required Dependable solid state circuitry and rugged molded case for long-term reliability Not for use on conductive membrane such as EPDM and Butyl Rubber
