Leak Detection
Noticing damp smells, soft corners, ants, or moisture inside your caravan, camper trailer or motorhome?
These are often early signs of a leak — and leaks can cause significant hidden damage long before they become visible.
As caravans age, the original factory sealant can break down. If your van is five years or older, there’s a strong chance those seals are no longer performing as they should, allowing water to enter.
Many manufacturers also use foam tape to seal windows and doors. Over time, and with constant movement on the road, this foam tape deteriorates and eventually fails, creating pathways for water to seep in.
At Ace Caravan Repairs, we use advanced leak-detection technology —Thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters — to accurately locate leaks and assess any damage they’ve caused. Once identified, we repair leaks using industry-best methods: removing accessories, stripping failed tape, thoroughly cleaning surfaces, and resealing with high-grade silicone with industry leading flexibility properties for long-lasting protection.
Our goal is simple — to stop leaks at the source and get you back on the road with confidence as efficiently as possible.
ROOF RESEALS
A well-sealed roof is essential to protect your caravan, camper van or motorhome from water damage.
Over time, seals can deteriorate, crack or lift, allowing moisture to enter and cause issues that often go unnoticed until they become serious.
At Ace Caravan Repairs, we provide thorough roof reseal services designed to restore your van’s protection and prevent future leaks. Our team will inspect and report any damage caused by ageing or failing seals, then recommend preventative works — including a complete roof reseal where needed — to ensure your van stays watertight.
Proper maintenance of your roof seals is vital. Regular cleaning and resealing not only prevents leaks but also extends the life of your van’s roof structure.
When carrying out a roof reseal, we take a meticulous approach: removing all accessories, cleaning and preparing every surface, and applying high-quality silicone sealants for a durable, long-lasting finish. Every step is completed with care to ensure your van is ready for all weather conditions and every adventure ahead.
