Leaking Detection and Repair:

Fort Hamilton Plumbing & Heating, a new and powerful tool for improving quality control of waterproofing systems, is now available. Although this method is unfamiliar to most Americans, it has already achieved a long record of success in US.

Unlike most other leak detection methods, it can quickly and accurately locate the point
of water entry. Another unique aspect of this technique is that a pinhole (too small to find visually) is as easy to locate as a large tear or failed seam. Alternative approaches, such
as infrared surveys, can determine where water has accumulated in the insulation, but may
not be as useful in actually finding the waterproofing defect.
The Fort Hamilton Plumbing & Heating technique uses water as the electrically conductive medium. The survey technician installs a wire loop around the perimeter of the area to be tested and introduces an electrical potential. The area within the loop is dampened to form an upper electrical ‘plate’.
