• Controlled Testing : Controlled tests were strategically executed across different sections of the roof to identify how water was entering the building . This was carried out by using Rain Simulation & flood testing .
• Photographic Documentation : Detailed photographs were taken at each stage of the investigation , providing a comprehensive visual record of the findings .
• Rainwater Outlet Inspection : The inspection revealed that Rainwater Outlet 6 was not functioning effectively due to structural defects , causing water to bypass the outlet and infiltrate the roof structure .
The Future
With the investigation complete , we provided the hotel management with a detailed report outlining the preventative measures . This included the creation of drainage .
Our findings allowed the hotel to address the issue promptly , ensuring the building ’ s long-term protection against water ingress and preventing further damage .
By employing these methodologies , we accurately identified and diagnosed the primary source of the leak as being a latent defect from the construction stage of the project trapping water and causing it to flood under the upstand resulting in an internal leak .
