Parkade Leaks
Parkade and Garage Leak Detection
Parkade water is hard to attribute: it can come from rain, irrigation, a failing membrane, a slab leak or plumbing floors above. The investigation separates the sources so repair targets the right one.
Symptoms we're called for
- Ceiling drips and staining in the parkade
- Standing water or stained areas on the deck
- Concrete spalling or efflorescence
- Water only after rain or only during weekday use
Property types
- Strata and commercial parkades
- Above- and below-grade garages
- Loading areas and service corridors
Methods used
- Moisture and thermal mapping of slabs and ceilings
- Drain and membrane testing where accessible
- Acoustic and pressure testing of lines above
- Pattern analysis against weather and usage
Limitations, stated plainly
- We locate; membrane and concrete repairs are contractor and engineer territory
- Some deck systems require destructive testing to confirm
What you receive
- A source map for the parkade
- Testing results for drains, lines and assemblies
- Repair recommendations with priorities
Next steps
- Repair the confirmed sources in priority order
- Re-test the assemblies after repair
- Add the parkade to periodic monitoring
