Facade Thermal Imaging

Facade thermal imaging captures the heat signature of every exterior assembly: walls, windows, parapets, balconies, return-air paths. The technique is most valuable on rainscreen-clad and curtain-wall buildings where moisture and air leakage hide behind the visible cladding. We deliver these for envelope consultants, property managers, and owners scoping facade-restoration projects.

Why Water Intrusion Inspection for facade thermal imaging

Water Intrusion Inspection is a sub-division of Leak.ca, the Greater Vancouver leak detection company trusted since 1999. Every site visit is delivered by certified technicians using calibrated equipment, with documented findings formatted for insurance, engineering and procurement use.

We don't sell remediation. Our role is independent detection and assessment — the data you and your professional team work from.

Pairs well with

Clients booking facade thermal imaging often combine it with Window & Curtain Wall Testing or Sealant Failure Mapping — particularly when the underlying issue spans multiple systems or when documentation needs to support a broader investigation.

How to prepare for your visit

1. Document what you're seeing. Photos, dates, sounds, water-bill changes, anything unusual. The more we know in advance, the faster we can locate.
2. Clear access to the suspected area. Move furniture, stored items, and rugs. Non-invasive methods still need clear sightlines.
3. Have system history ready. Recent plumbing work, prior leaks, renovations, age of property, prior insurance claims.
4. Confirm the email for your report. Photo-linked report delivered within 48 hours (often same-day for residential).
