Window Leak Inspections
Protect your home or building from water damage with professional window leak detection. We identify and document all sources of window-related water intrusion.
Expert Window Leak Detection
Window leaks are one of the most common sources of water damage in residential and commercial buildings. Improper installation, failed seals, or deteriorated caulking can allow water to penetrate your building envelope, causing damage to walls, floors, and interior finishes.
Our comprehensive window leak inspections use controlled water testing and thermal imaging to pinpoint the exact source of leaks. We test windows, surrounding walls, and integration points to ensure complete water-tightness.
Common Window Leak Causes:
- Improper flashing installation during window replacement
- Failed caulking or sealant around window frames
- Deteriorated or missing weep hole covers allowing water infiltration
- Broken or failed window seals in double-pane units
- Inadequate slope or drainage at window sills
- Structural settlement causing gaps in window-to-wall connections
Our Window Testing Methods
Spray Testing
Controlled water spray at specified pressures simulates wind-driven rain to identify leak entry points. Interior monitoring reveals exact locations of water penetration.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras detect temperature differences and moisture patterns around windows, revealing hidden water damage in wall cavities.
Visual Inspection
Detailed examination of window installation, flashing details, sealants, and drainage components by experienced building envelope specialists.
Moisture Detection
Non-invasive moisture meters measure water content in walls surrounding windows, documenting the extent of existing water damage.

Benefits of Window Leak Testing
Warranty Claim Documentation
Professional leak testing provides the documentation needed for window warranty claims or insurance purposes, with detailed reports and photographic evidence.
Prevent Costly Repairs
Early detection of window leaks prevents expensive damage to drywall, framing, flooring, and interior finishes. Small repairs now prevent major renovations later.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Identifying and sealing air leaks around windows reduces energy consumption by preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
Verify Installation Quality
Testing confirms whether windows were installed correctly according to manufacturer specifications and building code requirements.
