Building Envelope Leak Detection Services
Advanced technology and proven techniques to accurately locate and diagnose building envelope leaks.
Comprehensive Leak Detection
Our building envelope leak detection services utilize advanced technology and proven methodologies to accurately identify the source of water intrusion in your property.
We specialize in detecting leaks in all components of the building envelope, including roofs, walls, windows, doors, and foundations. Our non-invasive approach helps preserve your property while providing precise diagnostics.
Our Detection Methods
We employ multiple detection techniques to ensure accurate diagnosis of building envelope leaks.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Our infrared cameras detect temperature differences in building materials that indicate the presence of moisture. This non-invasive technology allows us to:
- Visualize moisture patterns hidden behind walls and ceilings
- Identify areas of heat loss and air leakage
- Detect water intrusion without damaging building materials
- Create detailed thermal maps of problem areas
Moisture Meters & Probe Testing
We use professional-grade moisture meters to measure the exact moisture content in building materials, helping us:
- Quantify moisture levels in walls, ceilings, and floors
- Determine the extent of water damage
- Identify the drying potential of affected materials
- Monitor moisture levels during the drying process
Visual Inspections
Our experienced technicians conduct thorough visual inspections of your property, looking for:
- Water stains, discoloration, and visible damage
- Deteriorated sealants and flashing
- Improper drainage and water management systems
- Signs of mold or mildew growth
Invasive & Non-Invasive Testing
When necessary, we perform targeted testing to confirm leak sources:
- Water spray testing to simulate rain conditions
- Pressure differential testing to identify air leakage paths
- Minimally invasive probe testing in suspected problem areas
- Controlled water testing of specific building components
Common Leak Areas We Inspect
We thoroughly examine all components of the building envelope to identify potential leak sources.
Windows & Doors
Inspection of seals, flashing, and installation quality to identify water intrusion points around windows and doors.
Roof Systems
Comprehensive assessment of roof membranes, penetrations, and drainage systems to locate potential leaks.
Exterior Walls
Evaluation of cladding, siding, stucco, and wall assemblies for moisture intrusion and barrier failures.
Flashing & Transitions
Inspection of flashing details at material transitions, penetrations, and building joints.
Balconies & Decks
Assessment of waterproofing membranes, drainage, and structural integrity of exterior balconies and decks.
Foundation & Below Grade
Evaluation of foundation walls, waterproofing systems, and drainage for below-grade water intrusion.
Our Detection Process
We follow a systematic approach to ensure accurate leak detection and comprehensive reporting.
