Thorough inspection and testing of all penetrations in your building envelope, including vents, pipes, electrical conduits, and architectural features, which are common sources of water intrusion and air leakage.
Roof and wall penetrations for plumbing vent pipes and drainage systems
Air handler units, exhaust vents, and mechanical system penetrations
Electrical boxes, conduit entries, and service panel penetrations
Railings, balcony attachments, light fixtures, and decorative elements
Chimney penetrations, flue pipes, and fireplace venting systems
Gas lines, cable TV, internet, and other utility service entries
Improper flashing installation, inadequate sealing, or incorrect detailing during construction are the most common causes of penetration leaks.
Sealants, caulking, and flashing materials deteriorate over time due to UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and weather conditions.
Structural settling, thermal expansion, and seismic activity can compromise the integrity of penetration seals and create pathways for water.
Poor design, inadequate drainage provisions, or conflicting building systems can make penetrations inherently prone to water intrusion.
Detailed inspection of all roof and wall penetrations, documenting conditions, existing sealant integrity, and visible damage.
Non-invasive infrared scanning to identify hidden moisture around penetrations and detect air leakage pathways.
Controlled water application to simulate rainfall and identify specific leak pathways around penetrations.
Comprehensive documentation with photographs, prioritized recommendations, and repair specifications for each deficient penetration.
Identify and repair vulnerable penetrations before they cause extensive interior damage and costly repairs.
Regular penetration maintenance prevents deterioration of surrounding building materials and extends envelope lifespan.
Proper documentation of penetration conditions helps maintain building warranties and supports insurance claims.
Sealing air leakage around penetrations improves energy efficiency and reduces heating and cooling costs.
Comprehensive inspection provides confidence that all penetrations are properly sealed and protected.
Precise identification of problem areas allows for cost-effective, focused repair efforts rather than guesswork.
