Masonry Moisture Surveys

Brick, block and stone facades absorb and trap moisture, particularly on east- and west-facing elevations in Greater Vancouver's climate. Quantitative moisture surveys — using nuclear-density methods, MC sensors and IR — identify saturated assemblies before damage progresses. We deliver these for heritage buildings, mid-rise masonry and institutional facades where understanding water management is a long-term asset issue.

Why Water Intrusion Inspection for masonry moisture surveys

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 masonry moisture surveys often combine it with Window & Curtain Wall Testing or Facade Thermal Imaging — 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).
