Leak Detection & Repairs
Find the real source, then fix it once
What leak detection & repairs actually involves
Water almost never enters where the stain appears. It travels along framing, membranes, and slab edges before it shows up, which is why guess-and-patch repairs so often fail. We use electronic leak detection, moisture mapping, and controlled water testing to find the actual entry point, then repair it and document what we found so you know the problem is genuinely closed out.
Every project starts the same way: we look at the property, establish what water is doing and where it is entering, and only then specify a system. That order matters — a correctly installed product solving the wrong problem still leaves you with a wet building.
Included in every leak detection & repairs project
- Electronic leak detection on decks and membranes
- Moisture meter mapping and thermal inspection
- Controlled, isolated water testing zone by zone
- Balcony, deck, planter, and window leak diagnosis
- Targeted membrane and flashing repairs
- Written findings with photo documentation
Four steps from first call to sign-off
Interview & Inspect
We start with when and how the leak shows up, then inspect every plausible entry point.
Test to Confirm
Water testing and electronic detection isolate the true source instead of the most obvious suspect.
Repair the Source
We repair the actual failure point with materials compatible with the existing assembly.
Verify & Document
The repair is retested under the same conditions and documented with photos for your records.
The difference a properly built assembly makes
Waterproofing is buried work. Once the backfill, topping slab, or tile goes over it, nobody sees the detailing again — which is exactly why the details have to be right the first time.
Diagnosed First
We confirm where water is genuinely entering before specifying anything, so the work targets a cause rather than a symptom.
Matched to Conditions
Substrate, exposure, and water pressure decide the system. The same product is not right for every property.
Prepared Properly
Profiled, cleaned, moisture-tested surfaces. Preparation is where most failed waterproofing jobs actually went wrong.
Tested & Documented
Flood tests, electronic detection, and photo records so you have proof the assembly performs before it is covered up.
Detail-driven from start to finish
Durable waterproofing comes from disciplined habits, not premium product names. Here is the standard we hold ourselves to on every project.
A Written Scope
You get the system, the sequence, and the expected result in writing before work begins.
Substrate Preparation
Grinding, profiling, and repair to a sound surface — never a coating applied over unsound concrete.
Reinforced Detailing
Corners, drains, penetrations, and joints get reinforcement, because that is where assemblies fail.
Site Protection
Landscaping, hardscape, finishes, and adjacent surfaces are protected for the length of the project.
Verification Before Close-Out
Testing under real conditions, then a walkthrough so nothing gets buried on assumption.
