Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®) Identifies Hidden Moisture Quickly

Moisture trapped within a building’s roof or wall systems can cause serious structural damage if left undetected. Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®) offers a non-invasive and highly effective method for identifying moisture hidden beneath surfaces such as flat roofs and waterproof membranes. Using this technique, ECT® measures the capacitance (ability to store electrical charge) of materials, revealing areas where moisture has accumulated. This early detection helps prevent further deterioration and costly repairs, ensuring your building remains safe and structurally sound.

Detect Hidden Moisture and Protect Your Roof

At RAM, we utilise Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®) to identify moisture trapped within your building’s roof or wall systems before it becomes a serious problem. Our expert team delivers accurate results, helping you take action quickly to prevent further damage.

With RAM’s expertise in Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®), you can ensure early detection and avoid the costly repairs that come with undetected moisture damage.

How we Help Your Project

Ensure Electrical Integrity

RAM’s Electrical Capacitance Test (ECT®) accurately measures the moisture levels within a building’s roofing or wall systems. By detecting trapped moisture early, we help prevent deterioration that could compromise your building’s electrical integrity, ensuring that your systems remain reliable and efficient.

Identify Electrical Faults

This advanced testing method pinpoints potential electrical faults caused by moisture infiltration or poor insulation. RAM’s Electrical Capacitance Test (ECT®) identifies these hidden issues, allowing for precise repairs before they lead to more significant problems, such as electrical failures or system breakdowns.

Ensure Building Safety

By identifying moisture-related electrical issues early, RAM helps protect the safety of your building and its occupants. Regular capacitance testing reduces the risk of electrical hazards such as short circuits, fires, or electrocution, ensuring your building remains a safe environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®)?

Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®) measures moisture levels within building materials to detect hidden moisture and water ingress without invasive methods.

Why is Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®) important?

It helps identify moisture issues early, preventing structural damage and costly repairs by diagnosing problems that aren’t visible on the surface.

What types of buildings benefit from Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®)?

Both commercial and residential buildings benefit, especially those with flat roofs, walls, or areas prone to water ingress.

How does Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®) work?

The test sends a low-voltage current through building materials to measure moisture content, providing accurate, non-destructive results.

When should I consider Electrical Capacitance Testing (ECT®)?

You should consider it if you suspect moisture issues, have leaks, or want a thorough inspection during maintenance or property assessments.
