Window & Curtain Wall Testing in Richmond

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.

What patio leak typically finds in Richmond

Window-wall investigations on City Centre towers, stucco rainscreen failures on 90s/00s townhomes.

Richmond's built environment — low-rise wood-frame condos, single-family on small lots, City Centre high-rises, agricultural in east Richmond — shapes how window & curtain wall testing is delivered locally. Richmond sits at 1 m above sea level on the Fraser delta. The high water table makes slab leaks and basement seepage common, and the dyke-protected drainage system means stormwater issues quickly become structural ones. Construction is largely 1980s–2000s with growing concrete-tower density in City Centre.
