Water Intrusion Investigation Services
Forensic-level water detection using advanced non-invasive technology
Call 604-239-9934Comprehensive Water Intrusion Investigation
Water intrusion investigation requires more than finding visible moisture—it demands systematic forensic analysis to identify infiltration pathways, trace water movement through building assemblies, and document evidence for effective remediation.
Our investigation methodology combines multiple diagnostic technologies to build a complete picture of water intrusion behavior. We don't just identify symptoms; we determine root causes and provide actionable recommendations for permanent resolution.
Our Investigation Process
We begin with detailed consultation to understand the history of water intrusion concerns, visible symptoms, building construction details, and previous investigations or repairs. This intelligence guides our diagnostic strategy.
Comprehensive visual examination identifies staining patterns, efflorescence, material deterioration, and other evidence of moisture intrusion. We photograph and document conditions to establish baseline evidence.
We deploy thermal imaging, acoustic detection, moisture mapping, and specialized testing to trace infiltration pathways non-invasively. This technology reveals hidden moisture that visual inspection cannot detect.
We analyze diagnostic data to determine infiltration mechanisms, identify construction defects or material failures, and trace water movement through building assemblies to pinpoint entry locations.
We provide comprehensive written reports with thermal images, moisture maps, findings, and recommendations for remediation. Our documentation supports insurance claims, litigation, and contractor scoping.
Diagnostic Technology We Use
High-resolution infrared cameras detect temperature differentials caused by evaporative cooling, revealing moisture intrusion behind finished surfaces.
Sensitive acoustic sensors detect water movement within walls, under slabs, and in building cavities without destructive investigation.
Precision moisture meters document moisture content throughout affected areas, creating detailed maps of infiltration extent and severity.
Controlled water testing replicates rain events to confirm infiltration pathways and validate waterproofing system performance.
Differential pressure testing identifies air leakage pathways that often correlate with water intrusion entry locations.
Comprehensive reports with thermal images, photographs, moisture maps, and detailed findings support remediation planning.
