Comprehensive 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

1Initial Assessment & Consultation

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.

2Visual Inspection & Documentation

Comprehensive visual examination identifies staining patterns, efflorescence, material deterioration, and other evidence of moisture intrusion. We photograph and document conditions to establish baseline evidence.

3Advanced Diagnostic Testing

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.

4Data Analysis & Root Cause Determination

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.

5Detailed Report & Recommendations

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

Thermal Imaging

High-resolution infrared cameras detect temperature differentials caused by evaporative cooling, revealing moisture intrusion behind finished surfaces.

Acoustic Detection

Sensitive acoustic sensors detect water movement within walls, under slabs, and in building cavities without destructive investigation.

Moisture Mapping

Precision moisture meters document moisture content throughout affected areas, creating detailed maps of infiltration extent and severity.

Water Testing

Controlled water testing replicates rain events to confirm infiltration pathways and validate waterproofing system performance.

Pressure Testing

Differential pressure testing identifies air leakage pathways that often correlate with water intrusion entry locations.

Detailed Documentation

Comprehensive reports with thermal images, photographs, moisture maps, and detailed findings support remediation planning.
