Abstract:
A leak detection system for flat commercial roof structures is disclosed in order to detect and subsequently repair a leak as soon as possible such that any damage to the roof, as well as to other structural and/or insulation components of the overall roof structure, can be minimized due to the absorption or migration of the water. The leak detection system may comprise elongated water detection sensor strips to be fixedly secured to at least two edge portions of insulation board assemblies, or alternatively, electrical circuits may be provided over the entire expanse of the major upper surface portion of each insulation board assembly, or alternatively still further, rolls of water detection sensor strips may be applied to different regions of the flat commercial roof structure.

Claim (Index 1):
A water leak detection system for use in connection with flat commercial roof structures, comprising:\n an insulation board assembly, with a flat top and bottom surface and four side surfaces, fixedly secured to the flat commercial roof structure; a water detection sensor strip having a pair of separate electrical circuits fixedly secured thereon and spaced apart from each other by means of a predetermined gap so as to thereby define a normally open electrical circuit upon said water detection sensor strip, said water detection sensor strip being fixedly secured to at least two side surfaces of said insulation board assembly; an electrical power source electrically connected to said normally open electrical circuit defined upon said water detection sensor strip; and a control station electrically connected to said normally open electrical circuit defined upon said water detection sensor strip for receiving a water detection signal, from said normally open electrical circuit defined upon said water detection sensor strip, which is generated from said normally open electrical circuit defined upon said water detection sensor strip when water migrates into said gap defined between said pair of separate electrical circuits so as to effectively bridge said gap and thereby close said normally open electrical circuit.
