Stockton, CA Leak Detection & Consulting

Finding the True Source of Water Intrusion in Stockton Commercial Buildings

Building Envelope Leak Detection in Stockton, CA

In Stockton, leaks often stay quiet through the long dry season and then show up with the first run of winter storms, made worse by weeks of fog that keep wet areas from drying. Water might slip through a cracked joint between tilt-up panels on a distribution center, past a worn window seal on a downtown office, or around loose flashing on a hospital roof, then travel inside before it appears. At ground level, moisture from the river and high groundwater can add to the confusion. Presto Restoration uses controlled testing and close inspection to find exactly where water gets in, with more than 25 years of experience on warehouses, offices, hospitals, campuses and historic buildings. In Stockton, the goal is to fix the real cause once.

OUR DIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR STOCKTON BUILDINGS

We pick the tests that answer the questions your Stockton building raises and leave out the ones that would not change the repair.

Controlled water testing building facade, the work Presto Restoration provides for Stockton CA commercial properties

With most of the year dry, waiting for rain is not practical. Controlled water testing wets one small area at a time while a technician watches inside, showing exactly which joint, seal or flashing lets water through.

Thermal imaging picks up temperature differences that reveal wet insulation, damp walls and air leaks.
