Electronic Leak Detection for Data Centers
Precision protection for mission-critical environments
In a data center, even a small leak can bring operations to a standstill. Moisture intrusion risks downtime, equipment damage, and loss of service—costs that can quickly reach millions.
With today’s economic pressures, a proactive “check-up” of your building's roof is one of the smartest investments you can make. HGI’s electronic leak detection (ELD) identifies vulnerabilities before they become failures—allowing repairs to be made for pennies on the dollar instead of costly replacements later.
Protect Your Uptime. Learn What’s at Stake.
Every system in your data center is built for reliability — your roof should be no exception. Explore two new expert resources that reveal why early detection matters.

Data Center Roof Failure Cost Analysis
Understand the financial risk of a single undetected leak — and how preventive testing offsets it.
The Challenge: No Room for Error
Modern data centers are complex ecosystems of power, cooling, and connectivity. Traditional leak testing often misses breaches causing facilities to be vulnerable to damage.
Common risks include:
-
Undetected leaks compromising electrical and fiber infrastructure
-
Moisture trapped under membranes or in insulation layers
-
Costly shutdowns for invasive water tests
Your operation can’t afford “close enough.” You need precise, verifiable proof of watertightness.
Our Solution: Proven ELD Technology
HGI provides non-destructive electronic leak detection designed for the unique demands of mission-critical environments.
Our approach includes:
-
ELD testing for all major roof types, including single-ply, inverted, and insulated systems
-
Quality assurance testing before hand off to owners or warranty providers
-
Ongoing integrity monitoring for long-term facility maintenance and uptime assurance
Each project is completed by trained ELD specialists with calibrated equipment, controlled testing protocols, and full digital documentation.
The Benefits: Protect Uptime and Extend Roof Life
-
Identify issues early — Find membrane breaches before they spread or cause interior damage
-
Save thousands in repairs — Fixing early exposure costs pennies on the dollar compared to full replacement
-
Support continuous operations — No disruption to servers or equipment during testing
-
Extend roof life — Maintain warranty coverage and maximize existing assets
-
Ensure compliance — Meet Uptime Institute, LEED, and warranty verification requirements
