ProtectSys® is prevention, protection and peace of mind.

Working platform, storage area, access walkway—the uses of a flat roof surface often lead to damage in the waterproofing membrane, damage virtually impossible to detect by eyesight alone. Undetected, such damage can have devastating consequences for a building’s insulation and thermal values. In the past, locating the source of moisture penetration entailed completely uncovering the roof, an expensive and time-consuming process. ProtectSys® combined with EFVM® has changed all that.

Based on ILD®’s proprietary EFVM® technology, ProtectSys® is a pre-installed system for locating moisture penetrations. With ProtectSys®, waterproofing system leaks on flat roofs, swimming ponds, and a range of other membranes can be quickly and easily located before the damage is done. ProtectSys® can also be used as part of a regular roof asset management program.

The Benefits of Protectsys®

How Does Protectsys® Work?

The roofing contractor installs the highly conductive ProtectSys® measurement grid under the waterproofing material and connects it through a contact plate via a prefabricated cable to the contact box. The Vector-9 EFVM® Conductor Wire, placed on top of the roof membrane, delivers direct current tension to the surface.

Here are two examples of the Protectsys® system at work:

With ProtectSys®, the water-tightness of a new or existing roof construction can easily be checked, and membrane defects or damage identified at every stage. In the event of any contact with moisture—even the smallest capillary action--the system closes the electrical circuit. Moisture penetration can then be quickly located and cost-effectively repaired.
