Seal Your Building for the Long Haul – Integrated Fixes That Last

Performing water intrusion engineering on a building envelope
Has your commercial building's leak persisted for years, defying quick patches and previous consultants? 

Wondering why facade issues keep coming back despite spending on repairs? The real fix demands more than surface treatment—it's about engineering your envelope to perform.

Integrated Engineering for Lasting Results

Structural and envelope expertise together uncovers interactions between cladding, anchors, and the superstructure that isolated inspections overlook.

Tools like infrared thermography, borescopes, probing, and drone access enhance hose testing, providing comprehensive evidence for informed repair decisions.

This approach delivers defensible reports, accurate cost estimates, and strategies that restore performance without ongoing surprises.

Why This Works for Your Building

Owners facing chronic leaks—persisting years after occupancy—benefit from this methodical replication and analysis, turning vague complaints into targeted, verified fixes.

  • The result: a secure envelope that withstands weather, minimizes downtime, and preserves asset value long-term.

Diagnose Building Leaks with Precision – Why Replication is Key

Person performing water intrusion engineering on a building envelope.
Tired of chasing water stains that reappear after every repair?

Frustrated by tenant complaints about damp interiors or mold in your commercial property?

For building owners, unexplained leaks in the building envelope into profit-draining headaches fast.

Your Challenge with Leaks

Leaks in curtain walls, storefronts, or window systems often stem from failed seals, movement gaps, or hidden pathways that standard inspections miss.

Unchecked, they corrode steel anchors, rot framing, and spawn mold, turning minor defects into costly liabilities for owners and managers.

The solution starts with replicating those leaks under controlled conditions to reveal the true root cause.

AAMA 501.2 Hose Testing as Your Diagnostic Tool

AAMA 501.2 provides a standardized field hose test tailored for installed curtain walls, storefronts, and glazing systems. This test method is often used for all components of the building envelope to locate leaks.

A calibrated nozzle delivers 30–35 psi spray from 1 foot away, methodically tracing joints, perimeters, and interfaces for 5 minutes per section while observers inside track water paths.

This process duplicates storm-like conditions, showing exactly where water breaches the envelope and how it travels to interior damage points.
