ABSTRACT:
Methods for detection of the presence or absence of water leaks in building roofs and for tracing any leaks to the zone or area thereof in the roof by applying on all or part of the roof fluorescent dye-containing water, shining a fluorescence-inducing light, e.g., actinic or U/V light, onto the underside of the roof, its support structures, roof-penetrating structures and/or surfaces of walls beneath the roof, tracing the path or paths of fluorescence (if present) along the underside of said roof, and/or roof-penetrating structures, and/or roof support structures, and/or the building wall(s) to or near the point of origin of the area or zone of water leakage through said roof, and optionally applying the fluorescent dye-containing water onto the roof in the form of a spray in a fast-moving air stream or as a water jet or jet-spray to simulate wind-driven rain.
