Abstract: The inventive disclosures pertain to an improved roofing-protection system that features enhanced leak-detection and analytical capabilities. The improved system features RFID-enabled moisture-sensing elements contained in a moisture-sensing membrane, and can measure impedance changes across the moisture-sensing membrane. In some variations, the system is designed to detect and measure moisture leakage and roof loading by way of biplanar capacitance measurements. RFID tags for moisture sensors are read by drones or robots and wirelessly transmitted to the Cloud/Internet for remote data analytics.

Abstract: The inventive disclosures are directed to an improved fluid-applied waterproofing membrane that features two or more layers of waterproofing materials, in cold or hot liquid form, that provide a waterproofing barrier coating combined with an electrically-conductive mesh embedded in at least one of the two or more layers of waterproofing materials, wherein the electrically-conductive mesh provides the fluid-applied waterproofing membrane with intrinsic leak-detection capability.
