Comprehensive inspection of roofing systems, balconies, and elevated structures. Protect your property from Vancouver's heavy rainfall with professional leak detection.
Metro Vancouver receives over 1,150mm of rainfall annually, with the majority falling between October and April. This prolonged exposure to moisture puts tremendous stress on roofing systems and balcony waterproofing.
Ponding water, membrane degradation, and seam failures are common in Vancouver's wet climate.
UV exposure combined with moisture causes membrane cracking and delamination over time.
Clogged drains and scuppers lead to water pooling and eventual penetration into living spaces.
Winter temperature fluctuations expand and contract materials, accelerating failure.
Detailed examination of all visible surfaces, seams, flashings, and drainage components. Photo documentation of deficiencies.
Controlled water application to suspect areas while monitoring interior spaces for active leaks. ASTM standard test protocols.
Non-invasive moisture meter readings to detect trapped water within substrate and identify extent of water damage.
Infrared cameras reveal moisture patterns, membrane delamination, and insulation deficiencies not visible to the naked eye.
When necessary, targeted core samples assess membrane thickness, substrate condition, and waterproofing effectiveness.
Evaluation of drainage capacity, proper slope, and scupper/drain functionality under simulated rain conditions.
Vancouver's climate is hard on roofing and balcony systems. Regular professional inspections prevent costly water damage and extend the life of your waterproofing systems.
