Burbank // Water Infiltration Rain Leak Testing

Burbank California is home to some of the most beautiful landscape California has to offer. An older city nuzzled within the confines of Los Angeles County, Burbank, founded in 1887, makes it one of the oldest cities in Los Angeles. First of all, because of its age and thus the aging population of structures, water infiltration rain leak testing is now more common than ever. Moreover, the aging buildings thus possess aging components.

Windows are not the only component susceptible to water infiltration. As a matter of fact, a typical building possess hundreds of systems which fail over time. Such items may include decks, roofs, walls, doors and even the ground itself. As water intrusion specialists its our goal to source leaks no matter where they derive.

As a result of the excessive rainfall we’ve experienced in the past year, I’d say that the raise in leak detection has increased exponentially in Burbank. Likewise, the same goes for much of Los Angeles for that matter.

Roof/deck leaks and Roof/deck leak testing

Roof leaks and decks leaks are extremely common much like windows, in older homes. These systems seem to fail as their systems age. Roofs for example have a life expectancy of a predetermined amount of time. Whereas decks, do not. The water proof coating as an example, applied to walk-on decks breaks down at an alarming rate.

This issue is increased by the quality of the water proofing applied. For the most part, there are endless types of water proofing for deck systems much like roofs. Granted, the life expectancy for roofs can be 10 years to 50+ years. Contrast this to decks where the life expectancy hoovers around 20 years or less.

Fenestration Testing in Burbank

Modern windows seem by all accounts, to be a fairly bullet-proof system. The more you pay for a fenestration product like windows, the better they seem to get. Our water infiltration rain leak testing of windows usually follows the AAMA 511-08 standard as the majority of our calls is forensic leak detection.
