Santa Clarita Construction Defect Specialists
The city of Santa Clarita is one of the newer cities in Los Angeles. Well… I suppose being 30 plus years old makes it sound old but in reality, it’s just a baby. What is getting old, however, are the houses and housing systems. Specifically doors, windows, walls, decks, and roofing systems. Let’s face it when these systems start to fail, it’s time to buy buckets and tarps. Or you can call the Santa Clarita Construction Defect Specialists to locate the source of your rain leaks.

Nevertheless, in Santa Clarita, all water intrusion testing should be performed to a building standard. Tests such as the AAMA and the ASTM standardized testing procedures. Regardless of whether or not you’re in a lawsuit.
These standards legitimize testing procedures. In fact, they even tell a tester step by step on how to perform water intrusion tests. In other words, water leak testing needs to be repeatable. Of course, you never know when a simple test manifests into something larger. In that case, standardized testing is a must. Trust me.

Thermography scans and inspections in Santa Clarita
Thermography inspections for things like water leaks and water intrusion have become super popular in Santa Clarita. What’s more, most home inspectors and plumbers now carry these cameras daily. But are they qualified? Anyone with half a brain can turn on an infrared camera and look at pretty pictures. But to be certified… Scratch that. To be level III certified to not just operate an infrared camera but as an instructor is a whole other story.
Thermography is more science than anything else. Indeed, when using this type of technology the operator must know how to read the images produced. Not just looking for purple or orange… but understand the entirety of the thermogram. Individuals who choose to use thermography must also know that it’s simply just a tool. The use of other testing equipment is necessary when using a thermal camera.
