Water intrusion and water leakage caused by rainfall is a real thing, and living in Southern California you have probably come to understand that “when it rains it pours”, and when it finally does rain many of the homes and buildings in Orange County are not prepared to repel and resist water intrusion to interior surfaces causing much unwanted stress and chaos for a building owner.
We offer a wide range of rain leak detection services for finding water intrusion here in Orange County, and we can test the following components of a home or commercial building:
- Windows
- Doors
- Storefronts and Curtain Wall Systems
- Walls (Stucco, Metal Panel, Wood Siding, Masonry, Block, Brick, Etc.)
- Skylights
- Low Sloped Horizontal Surfaces
- Decks
- Exterior Grade and Walkways
- Other exterior parts and components of a home or building’s exterior envelope
In order to provide the best possible outcome for finding your water leaks we make sure that all of our Leak Detection Test Manager are Certified Water Intrusion Specialists and experts in Thermography (Infrared Scanning for Water Leaks), and they sent through a rigorous training program for the services we provide. In addition to our in-house training program we also make sure that all testing procedures follow the ASTM and AAMA guidelines. With that in mind you can be assured that our rain leak detection services for finding water intrusion can easily be reproduced when someone else follows the same “testing process” that we have; this is critical should your issues ever have to see a court of law as these tests, if required, can then be reproduced (by other testing agencies and expert witnesses) with the same results.
Water intrusion testing in Orange County can sometimes be more of an art form than it is a science, but that doesn’t mean we don’t put science to work for us in a big way. There are industry related forensic water intrusion guidelines, like AAMA 511 & ASTM E2128, which both incorporate a scientific approach to testing and investigating known water leaks.
