Find the source. Understand the problem. Plan the repair.
Water stains, drafts and condensation are symptoms. We investigate how water, air and moisture move through your home to identify likely causes and recommend practical next steps — so the repair goes in the right place.
Understand what's going on before you pay for a repair.
Get recurring leak and moisture complaints investigated and explained.
Bring in diagnostic help when a building problem needs tracing.
Services
Leaks around roofs, windows, doors, siding, skylights and foundations. We look at the damage together with the surrounding construction to trace the source — and to tell water entry apart from condensation or other moisture.
A calibrated fan fitted in an exterior doorway creates a controlled pressure difference across the house. That helps reveal air leakage paths behind drafts, heat loss and moisture movement.
A thermal camera shows surface temperature patterns that point to areas worth a closer look — possible air leaks, insulation gaps or moisture cooling. It doesn't see through walls or prove moisture on its own, so we check findings with other tools.
Pin and pinless moisture meters measure accessible materials so we can map how far moisture has spread, guide the investigation and set reference points for follow-up checks.
A smoke machine releases small, controlled amounts of diagnostic smoke so you can actually see air moving through gaps, joints, penetrations, windows and doors — especially useful during a blower door test.
Tell us what you're seeing. We'll pick the tools to suit the problem.
Request an AssessmentThermal mapping, moisture checks, blower door investigation and smoke tracing where appropriate, plus accessible attic observations. A building performance and moisture assessment — not a standard home inspection.
When conditions allow, controlled water applied around suspected exterior leak points to help reproduce water entry. Optional and billed separately.
We explain the findings and your repair options. Where the work is within our scope we can repair it; if not, we'll recommend the right specialist.
Blower door testing and smoke tracing in action
The modern method
Each tool shows one part of the picture. Used together and checked against what we see on site, they build a clearer case for what's causing the problem.
01 Blower door creates a steady pressure difference so leaks are active and repeatable.
02 Thermal camera scans for temperature patterns that show where to look closer.
03 Smoke tracing makes the air movement visible at the exact gap or joint.
04 Moisture meters confirm whether materials are actually wet, and how far it spreads.
How it works
Share the symptoms, when they happen, and any photos or previous repairs.
We agree on the concern and the scope of the assessment.
We choose tools based on the problem and site conditions.
What the evidence supports, what's still uncertain, and recommended next steps.
Where appropriate, we can provide a separate repair scope and price.
