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.
