Building Envelope Leak Detection

Expert diagnosis and assessment of building envelope water intrusion throughout Metro Vancouver and British Columbia.

Protecting Your Building Envelope

The building envelope is your property's first line of defense against Vancouver's heavy rainfall and coastal moisture. When water penetrates this protective barrier, it can cause extensive structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. Our building envelope leak detection services identify vulnerabilities before they become major problems.

Using advanced diagnostic tools including thermal imaging, moisture meters, and acoustic detection equipment, we pinpoint the exact location and cause of water intrusion. Our comprehensive reports provide the documentation needed for insurance claims, renovation planning, and building maintenance programs.

Common Causes of Envelope Leaks

  • Failed or deteriorated caulking and sealants
  • Improperly installed flashing systems
  • Cladding defects and improper installation
  • Window and door installation issues
  • Inadequate drainage systems
  • Thermal bridging and condensation

Our Testing Methods

  • Visual inspection of all envelope components
  • Water spray testing of suspect areas
  • Thermal imaging for hidden moisture
  • Moisture meter scanning of walls
  • Acoustic leak detection
  • Air leakage testing

Why Early Detection Matters

Water intrusion rarely announces itself with obvious signs. By the time you notice interior staining, peeling paint, or visible mold, significant hidden damage may already exist. Our non-invasive testing methods detect moisture problems early, saving you thousands in repair costs.

We serve homeowners, strata councils, property managers, and developers throughout Metro Vancouver, providing detailed reports that document current conditions and recommend preventive measures. Our expertise helps you make informed decisions about building maintenance and renovation priorities.
