Window & Door Leak Detection Services in BC
Windows and doors are critical building envelope components. Our detection services find water infiltration through frames, flashing, and seals before serious damage occurs.
Expert Window & Door Leak Detection
British Columbia's heavy rainfall makes building envelope integrity critical. Windows and doors are the most common entry points for water infiltration, particularly in older buildings or those with installation defects. Water entering around these openings can cause extensive damage to wall assemblies, insulation, and interior finishes.
CeilingLeak.ca uses thermal imaging to identify moisture patterns in walls surrounding windows and doors. Our systematic testing approach can isolate specific failure points in frames, flashings, sealants, and weatherstripping.
Common Window & Door Leak Sources

Head, sill, and jamb flashings allowing water behind cladding
