WATER INTRUSION INSPECTION SERVICES
Water intrusion can cause significant damage to commercial buildings and residential properties, leading to structural issues, mold growth, and costly repairs. At Victor Construction & Engineering, we specialize in comprehensive water intrusion inspections to identify, assess, and prevent water-related damage. Our expert team uses advanced diagnostic tools and industry-proven techniques to pinpoint vulnerabilities and provide effective solutions.
WHAT IS WATER INTRUSION?
Water intrusion occurs when water unintentionally enters a building through various entry points, such as roofs, walls, windows, doors, foundations, or plumbing systems. This unwanted moisture can seep into structural components, causing damage over time. Common causes of water intrusion include:
- Poor construction practices or aging building materials
- Faulty or deteriorated seals around windows and doors
- Roof leaks due to weather damage or improper installation
- Clogged or damaged drainage systems
- Cracks in foundations or exterior walls
OUR MARIN COUNTY WATER INTRUSION INSPECTION PROCESS
Initial Assessment
Our inspection begins with a detailed evaluation of your property’s exterior and interior to identify potential points of water entry, such as:
- Roofing systems
- Windows and doors
- Facades and siding
- Foundations and basements
Advanced Leak Detection & Testing
Using specialized equipment such as moisture meters, infrared thermal imaging, and hydrostatic testing, we detect leaks and areas of excessive moisture that are not visible to the naked eye. These advanced tools allow us to pinpoint problem areas with precision, ensuring no hidden damage goes unnoticed.
Cause Identification & Damage Assessment
Once the source of water intrusion is located, we assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action for remediation. This includes evaluating structural integrity, checking for mold growth or material deterioration, and identifying any secondary issues that may have developed.
BENEFITS
Structural Damage: Prolonged moisture exposure can weaken the foundation, walls, and support structures, leading to costly repairs.
Mold and Mildew Growth: Damp environments create the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew.
Decreased Property Value: Visible water damage and mold issues can reduce the market value of your property.
Electrical Hazards: Water intrusion can affect electrical wiring, increasing the risk of short circuits, electrical fires, and other safety hazards.
Pest Infestations: Moist areas attract pests like termites, carpenter ants, and rodents, which can cause further structural damage.
