Our Technology & Process
We use advanced technology and proven methodologies to accurately detect and effectively repair window leaks.
Our advanced infrared thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences that indicate the presence of moisture behind walls and around windows. This technology allows us to:
- Identify hidden moisture without damaging walls
- Detect water ingress patterns not visible to the naked eye
- Create thermal maps of affected areas
- Document the extent of water penetration
- Verify the effectiveness of repairs
Thermal imaging is particularly effective for detecting window leaks because water-affected areas appear as distinct temperature variations compared to dry areas.
Our professional-grade moisture meters provide accurate readings of moisture content in building materials around windows. This technology allows us to:
- Quantify the exact moisture levels in affected materials
- Determine the severity of water ingress
- Identify the extent of the affected area
- Monitor drying progress during remediation
- Verify that repairs have resolved moisture issues
We use both pin-type and non-invasive moisture meters to gather comprehensive data about moisture conditions around window assemblies.
Our smoke pressure testing creates a controlled pressure differential that forces smoke through any gaps or cracks around windows. This technology allows us to:
- Visually identify exact points of air leakage
- Detect pathways that allow water penetration
- Document air leakage patterns with video evidence
- Test the effectiveness of window seals and gaskets
- Verify that repairs have sealed all leak points
Since air leakage paths often correspond to water entry points, smoke testing is an effective method for pinpointing window leak sources.
Our detailed visual inspection process documents all visible signs of window leaks and water damage. This methodology includes:
- High-resolution photography of visible damage
- Mapping of water stains and their patterns
- Documentation of cracks, gaps, and deteriorated materials
- Inspection of window flashing and drainage systems
- Assessment of installation quality and material condition
Visual evidence combined with our advanced detection technologies provides a comprehensive understanding of window leak issues.
Our Window Leak Detection & Repair Process
Initial Consultation
We begin with a detailed discussion about your window leak concerns, including when you first noticed the issue, any patterns related to weather conditions, and the history of the property. This information helps us develop an effective inspection approach.
Comprehensive Inspection
Our technicians conduct a thorough inspection using thermal imaging, moisture meters, and visual assessment to identify all sources of window leaks. We examine both interior and exterior components, including window frames, flashing, seals, and surrounding materials.
Diagnostic Testing
When necessary, we perform specialized tests such as smoke pressure testing to visualize air leakage paths and water spray testing to simulate rain conditions. These tests help confirm the exact entry points and mechanisms of water ingress.
Detailed Assessment & Recommendations
We provide a comprehensive assessment of all window leak issues, including the root causes and extent of damage. Our recommendations include detailed repair options, from targeted repairs of specific components to complete window replacement when necessary.
Professional Repairs
Our experienced technicians implement the agreed-upon repair solutions, which may include replacing caulking and sealants, repairing or installing proper flashing, correcting drainage systems, or repositioning window units. We use only high-quality materials designed for long-term performance.
Verification Testing
After completing repairs, we conduct verification testing using thermal imaging, moisture meters, and when appropriate, pressure testing to confirm that all leak issues have been successfully resolved. This step ensures the effectiveness of our repair work.
Documentation & Follow-up
We provide detailed documentation of all inspection findings, repairs performed, and verification results. Our follow-up process ensures your continued satisfaction and the long-term effectiveness of our window leak solutions.
