Window & Curtain Wall Testing

Window and curtain-wall water-penetration testing follows ASTM E1105 and AAMA standards: controlled water spray at calibrated pressure differential, with observers inside watching for ingress. We supervise these tests on commercial and institutional facades — for new-construction acceptance, for post-installation troubleshooting, and for leak investigation on existing buildings. The deliverable is a witnessed report with time-pressure data and a clear acceptance or failure finding.

Why Water Intrusion Inspection for window & curtain wall testing

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 window & curtain wall testing often combine it with Facade Thermal Imaging 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).
