Non-Destructive Thermal Diagnostics & Comprehensive Reports
When you are faced with leaks in your home—your most valuable asset—you need definitive answers. The first question is always: "What exactly is the exterior entry source of this leak?"
You may have called several local contractors for advice or engaged builder warranty crews who attempted quick fixes to no avail. Guesswork patching, superficial caulking, and tearing open interior ceilings rarely resolve the issue because the visible water stain is almost never where the water originally entered.
As it always has been, the regional roofing and siding market is plagued with newcomers and single-trade applicators. While proficient at applying new materials on cheap, basic jobs, they lack the foundational building science required to trace complex water migration across multi-component transitions. When problems arise, they offer self-serving answers—often blaming proven materials like fiberglass or flat roof membranes rather than fixing failing wall flashings upstream.
A niche market has arisen amidst the confusion: LEAK DETECTION and much like the construction industry itself that has little bearings as far as proper mechanics for external cladding and driven by corporate profit, essentially writing its own rules because of absences in the Building Code: We have this ‘leak detection’ marketplace where distressed homeowners fall victim to the inexperienced posing as seasoned professionals. You can always tell when they want you to sign away your rights and they go to spray water from the outside to see if they can make leaks occur on the inside. You call for the answer and you get more damage and then a huge bill, a temporary repair, downline damage and mold and rot and a warranty call will almost always result in blaming the continuing problem on a ‘new leak.’ Don’t waste your time!
