Water penetration indicates integrity of a building’s enclosure has been compromised, leading to structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. Enclosure leak investigations identify deficiencies in exterior walls, windows, roofs, and below-grade foundations. Investigation findings are analyzed to develop effective repair details designed to prevent further deterioration and maintain a safe, dry interior environment.
Unchecked water intrusion causes and/or contributes to:
A thorough enclosure leak investigation diagnoses problems at their source, providing the data needed for effective remediation.
We use a combination of advanced techniques to assess leaks and locate water entry points, including:
Examining building materials and finishes for signs of water damage or deterioration.
Identifying moisture trapped inside exterior walls and roof assemblies using thermal imaging technology.
Controlled water testing procedures designed to locate water entry points and identify leak paths.
Measuring moisture levels in materials to determine the extent of water penetration.
Evaluating air leakage paths that can contribute to water penetration and energy inefficiencies.
Once the source of the leak is identified, we provide a detailed report with actionable recommendations for effective repairs and long-term prevention strategies.
Our team works closely with property owners, architects, contractors, facility managers and building engineers to develop targeted solutions that align with your building’s unique design and performance requirements. Our expertise spans residential, commercial, and institutional structures, ensuring that no matter the project scale and complexity, we will confidently provide effective leak detection and resolution.
