Advanced Water Intrusion Detection Specialists
Protecting buildings from hidden moisture damage across British Columbia
About WaterIntrusion.ca
WaterIntrusion.ca specializes in forensic-level water intrusion detection and building envelope diagnostics. Our team employs advanced, non-invasive technology to trace infiltration pathways and identify moisture behavior patterns that threaten structural integrity.
We understand that water intrusion is not just about finding moisture—it's about understanding how water moves through building systems, identifying failure points, and providing actionable intelligence for remediation. Our engineering-grade approach combines thermal imaging, acoustic detection, moisture mapping, and pressure diagnostics to deliver precise, defensible results.
Water Intrusion Services
Common Water Intrusion Causes
Rain Penetration
British Columbia's intense rainfall creates pressure-driven water intrusion through compromised building envelopes, failed sealants, and inadequate drainage systems.
Window Installation Failure
Improper flashing, missing air seals, and defective installation details allow water to bypass window assemblies and infiltrate wall cavities.
Balcony Membrane Breakdown
Deteriorated waterproof membranes, failed drainage systems, and construction defects result in water penetration into living spaces and structural components.
Roofing Failures
Compromised roof membranes, failed flashings, blocked drainage, and aging materials allow water intrusion that damages interior finishes and structural framing.
Drainage System Deficiencies
Inadequate or blocked drainage systems cause water accumulation that overwhelms waterproofing defenses and creates hydrostatic pressure.
Foundation Seepage
Groundwater infiltration through foundation walls, cold joints, and compromised below-grade waterproofing systems threatens structural integrity and indoor air quality.
Cladding & Flashing Errors
Missing or improperly installed flashings, open joints in cladding systems, and construction defects create direct water entry paths.
Technology & Diagnostic Methods
High-resolution thermal cameras reveal temperature differentials caused by moisture intrusion, allowing non-invasive detection of hidden water damage.
Sensitive acoustic sensors detect water movement behind walls, under slabs, and within building assemblies without destructive investigation.
Precision moisture meters and mapping technology document moisture distribution patterns and severity levels throughout affected areas.
Controlled water testing replicates real-world conditions to identify infiltration pathways and validate waterproofing system performance.
Differential pressure testing evaluates air barrier performance and identifies air leakage paths that often correlate with water intrusion.
Specialized tracer gas technology pinpoints exact entry locations in complex building assemblies where conventional methods prove inconclusive.
