Weather-Related Leak Investigation
Identify and locate leaks caused by heavy rain, snow, and extreme weather events
Call (604) 239-9934About This Service
BC's wet climate and extreme weather events expose vulnerabilities in building envelopes that may not be apparent during normal conditions. When heavy rain, wind-driven rain, or snow melt causes leaks, finding the entry point can be challenging. Our investigation services identify weather-related water intrusion points, assess building envelope integrity, and recommend waterproofing solutions to prevent future weather-related damage.
Services Include:
- Rain leak source identification
- Wind-driven rain intrusion investigation
- Ice dam and snow melt assessment
- Building envelope vulnerability analysis
- Flashing and sealant inspection
- Window and door weather seal evaluation
- Waterproofing recommendations

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I only get leaks during heavy rain?
Building envelope deficiencies may only allow water entry when rain exceeds a certain intensity or when wind drives rain at specific angles. We identify these thresholds and entry points.
Can you test for rain leaks when it's not raining?
Yes, we can simulate rain conditions with controlled water testing to reproduce and locate leaks without waiting for actual rain events.
Are weather-related leaks covered by insurance?
Storm damage is typically covered, but gradual weather-related deterioration may not be. Our documentation helps establish whether damage resulted from a specific weather event.
