Water Quality Management

Water Seepage Test

Luxen provides specialized water seepage testing services to ensure the structural integrity and safety of your property. Employing advanced diagnostic methods such as fluorescent dye testing, humidity analysis, salinity measurement, and infrared thermographic scanning, we comprehensively evaluate water storage systems, pipelines, and containment structures. These techniques enable precise detection and localization of leaks or seepage, delivering reliable data and actionable solutions. With Luxen’s expertise and cutting-edge technology, we safeguard your infrastructure against water loss and damage, ensuring compliance with rigorous industry standards.

Poor Drainage & Grading

Inadequate drainage (clogged gutters, downspouts, or missing French drains) leads to water pooling around foundations instead of being channeled away.

Cracks and Structural Gaps

Over time, buildings develop cracks in walls, floors, or foundations due to settling, thermal expansion/contraction, or construction defects. Even tiny gaps around windows or roofs can allow persistent seepage.

Inadequate Waterproofing

If a structure lacks proper waterproof membranes or sealants (or if they were poorly applied during construction), moisture can penetrate walls and floors. Poor or aging waterproofing is a primary cause of wall seepage, especially at joints and corners not properly sealed.

Aging or Leaky Pipes

Deteriorated, corroded, or improperly jointed plumbing can leak within walls or slabs. Water escaping from leaky supply or drain lines can migrate into adjacent structural elements.

Testing Methods

Fluorescent Tracer Dye Testing

A colored or fluorescent dye is introduced into a suspected water source and tracked to see where it emerges. Using a UV light, even small traces of the dye become visible, confirming the leak’s path

Thermal Imaging (Infrared Thermography)

Infrared cameras detect subtle surface temperature differences to locate moisture.

Humidity & Moisture Sensors

Handheld moisture meters and humidity sensors measure the moisture content in materials or the air. Professionals use pin or pinless moisture meters to probe walls/floors for hidden dampness and quantify how wet an area is
