Envelope Assessments

Water Ingress Testing

Water Ingress Testing

The most convincing finding is a leak you can reproduce on demand. Controlled spray, dye and flood testing turn a mystery stain into a repeatable defect.

Symptoms we're called for

  • Leaks that only appear during rain or wind
  • Disputes about whether an assembly actually leaks
  • Post-repair verification needed after envelope work
  • New construction or warranty concerns

Property types

  • Windows, doors and balcony assemblies
  • Wall and roof junctions
  • Parkade and plaza decks
  • New build and renovation work

Methods used

  • Controlled spray testing per recognized procedures where applicable
  • Dye tracing through suspect details
  • Flood testing of decks and assemblies where suitable
  • Interior observation and moisture confirmation during testing

Limitations, stated plainly

  • Test conditions approximate weather; a pass under test is not a lifetime guarantee
  • Some assemblies cannot be tested without dismantling
  • Authority and owner permission are required before testing occupied spaces

What you receive

  • Test record with conditions and reproduction results
  • Photographic evidence of entry points
  • A written verification statement for repairs or disputes

Next steps

  • Repair the reproduced defect
  • Re-test to verify the fix
  • Keep the test record with warranty documents
