Advanced leak detection and water ingress investigations using thermal imaging, moisture meters and dye testing.

Vertical Access are specialists in high-rise and complex buildings, is fully insured and safety-focused, uses advanced equipment and proven testing methods, and provides detailed reports and clear repair recommendations.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal cameras detect surface temperature differences caused by moisture. This helps identify hidden leaks behind walls, ceilings and building elements.

• Non-invasive and fast
• Scans large areas quickly
• Identifies hidden moisture patterns
• Assists in tracking water migration
• Ideal for roofs, façades, and internal leaks.

Moisture Meter Testing

Protimeter Surveymaster moisture meters provide accurate readings of moisture levels in building materials such as plasterboard, concrete, render and timber.

• Confirms elevated moisture
• Maps affected areas
• Helps identify leak pathways
• Supports accurate reporting
• Used throughout internal and external areas.

Dye Testing

Fluorescent dye is introduced to suspected areas such as balconies, roofs, planter boxes and façades to trace the path of water and confirm the entry point.

• Confirms the actual leak source
• Ideal for intermittent leaks
• Used on balconies, roofs, and façades
• Supports target repairs
• Non-staining and safe for surfaces.

Common Areas We Investigate

• Balconies and podium decks
• Roofs and roof penetrations
• External façades
• Windows and doors
• Internal ceilings and walls
• Planter boxes
• Bathrooms and wet areas
• Cracks and construction joints.
