Fastener / Anchor Pull Testing: Ensuring Suitable Anchorage

​Ensure Your Waterproofing Is Built to Last

Anchors and fixings that are inadequately embedded, poorly installed, or under-strength can compromise structural performance and integrity, especially where brackets, balustrades, or mechanical fixings penetrate a waterproofed slab or façade. Anchor and Fixing Pull-Out Testing uses calibrated hydraulic equipment to apply controlled tensile loads to installed anchors in accordance with ASTM E488 / E488M. By measuring load versus displacement and recording the failure mode, we verify that anchors achieve their design capacity and are safely integrated with waterproofing systems.

​

Why Choose This Test?

Fixings on roofs cause a number of penetrations in waterproofing membranes. Some are installed prior to membrane being applied while others are installed post-membrane, effectively damaging the membrane in the process. For some sheet membrane products, fasteners and anchors keep the membrane fixed in place. Waterproofing Integrity offer pull testing to ensure that the membrane can be installed properly and is not likely to incur further damage or discplacement. For builders, contractors, and asset owners, this provides confidence that waterproofing installations are durable, compliant, and warranty-ready. By engaging Waterproofing Integrity, you’ll benefit from expert technicians, industry-trusted equipment, and transparent reporting that protects both your asset and your reputation.
