Window leak detection testing
There are few in the industry who specialize in locating and sourcing rain leaks. In fact, in Los Angeles there are none who have the reputation, experience, and training that we have. We have made it our focus and expertise to be water intrusion specialists who investigate and source rain related water leaks and water damage. We have the ability to source water intrusion wherever it derives from the exterior of a home or building.
First of all, window leak detection and the testing company itself require very specialized equipment and training. Secondly, it requires years of professional experience in water intrusion and leak detection.
We window leak test to specific standards
Every home is built to a standard (or at least it is supposed to…and sometimes it is at or below the minimum standard!). We know them as building codes which are minimum standards. So it only makes sense that all testing performed on a home or building’s exterior wall system is performed in accordance with a standard as well. This is where the AAMA and ASTM organizations come in. The ASTM and AAMA organizations not only oversee the testing of all things building related, they set the standard… literally. When Certified AAMA and ASTM testing is required visit our friends at Fenestration Testing Laboratory who are both AAMA (FGIA) Accredited in addition to maintaining ISO 17025 Lab Accreditation for test results that matter!
Certainly, anyone can show up to your home with a garden hose and start spraying your windows for leaks. Trust us, they won’t be your Los Angeles Window Leak Detection Experts. The use of a water hose to find window leaks is just not how it’s done. As a matter of fact, not even close. There are standards that stipulate how testing should be performed, and they are very complex. Equipment that is used to facilitate these tests is also expensive.
Window leak detection for track homes
Let’s say you just purchased a house here in Los Angeles from a local builder and as soon as it rains, your windows leak. Honestly, do you think the builder is going to hire a company like us, the water intrusion specialist, to source your rain leak? No. What they will do, however, is show up with a water hose and simply blast away. Did you know you can “over test” a window and make it leak?
When leak testing windows, not only do you test the glass and frame but you also test the installation. Isolation testing is necessary when sourcing rain leaks or window water intrusion here in Los Angeles.
Ceiling stains and Leaking windows for homes in escrow
Hypothetically (or not) let’s suppose you’re in an escrow buying a Los Angeles area house. Now let’s say there are ceiling or wall-stains that your local city inspector cannot account for. What do you do next? Obviously, every situation is different, however, depending on the status of the ceiling or wall stain, I’d say test. No matter what anyone tells you. There is no way to determine if a window leaks, roof leaks, deck leaks or anything else without formal testing.
We’re Los Angeles Window Leak Detection Experts. What that means is that you can rest assured when we are looking for window leaks, wall leaks, deck leaks or any other rain leak related issues… we’ll find them.
