As homes and buildings get older in Los Angeles, leaking within these buildings is to be expected. Systems predictably break down in time and many of these systems are the very components that protect the buildings from water intrusion.

For many who live here in Los Angeles understand even though it rains very little, with older homes the areas that succumb to water intrusion need a company that understands rain leak detection and how to test for it properly.

Types of testing is used to locate leaks.

Not just anyone with a water hose can locate rain leaks and water intrusion. In fact, using a water hose is strictly forbidden in the water intrusion testing industry. With so many different systems in a house, especially older homes in Los Angeles, a company really needs to understand what types of tools are needed to perform these water intrusion tests.

Whether its a deck, a wall, window, roof, or door, the tests are all different and their application and performance is stipulated via the AAMA and ASTM. Likewise, the tools necessary to perform these tests are also many and can be very expensive.
