Flood Testing of Roofing Systems:
This test procedure provides the building owner & building designers with a method for testing the watertightness of waterproofing installations applied to horizontal surfaces (Roofing systems) this procedure is intended for checking waterproofing installations on flat roof installations over habitable spaces.
Applicable waterproofing membrane installations that are regularly tested are fully adhered or bonded sheet membranes, liquid or fluid applied membranes, or loose laid sheet membranes. Flood test is completed if no leaks are determined to have occurred during the test period and the membrane and flashings are intact (for example, no blistered). For more information on the technical aspects of this testing contact us for more information.
The testing should be performed only after waterproofing membrane and flashings are inspected and any deficiencies repaired.
