Fresno, CA Leak Detection & Consulting
Finding the True Source of Water Intrusion in Fresno Commercial Buildings
Building Envelope Leak Detection in Fresno, CA
Fresno leaks are tricky because they do not always need rain. A failed joint might only show up during a real storm, but days of tule fog can also push fine moisture into a wall, so stains appear on calm, gray days with no rain in sight. Water may enter through a cracked panel joint on a packing house, a hardened window seal on a downtown office or loose flashing at a rooftop unit on a medical building, then travel inside before it shows. Presto Restoration uses controlled testing and close inspection to prove exactly where water gets in, with more than 25 years of experience on offices, medical centers, campuses, processing plants and historic buildings. In Fresno, the goal is to fix the cause once.
OUR DIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR FRESNO BUILDINGS
We choose the tests that answer the questions your Fresno building is raising and skip any that would not change the repair.
Since most of the year is dry, we create our own rain. Controlled water testing wets one marked area at a time while a technician watches indoors, isolating the joint, seal or flashing that fails.
Thermal imaging shows the temperature patterns left by damp insulation and air leaks, and foggy mornings often make wet areas stand out clearly.
Moisture readings map how far water has spread and help separate rain leaks from fog-driven dampness.
Drones let us inspect large plant roofs, parapets and upper walls quickly without scaffolding.
When the evidence is still unclear, we open a small, controlled section to look at the flashing, insulation and framing directly, then close and seal it.
We size each investigation to the problem, from a single leaking window to repeat leaks across a medical campus, and explain why every test is included.
How Diagnostic Work Fits Into Your Fresno Restoration Project
Every Presto project in Fresno starts by proving how and where water is getting in, so the repair plan is built on evidence rather than guesswork.
Exterior Survey & Leak History
We ask building staff when leaks appear, in rain or fog, and check the most likely entry points.
Diagnostic Testing
Focused tests confirm each entry point before it goes in the repair plan.
Report & Scope
A written report lays out the findings and the repairs in order of priority.
Restoration Execution
Our crews make the repairs, from sealants and flashings to masonry, stucco and coatings.
Verification & Closeout
Where possible, we retest the repaired area to prove it stays dry.

Fresno Leak Detection & Consulting FAQs
Does Presto offer leak detection as a standalone service in Fresno?
No. Our leak investigations are part of larger commercial restoration projects, which typically start at $50,000. For an inspection report alone, a specialty engineering firm is the better fit.
What methods does Presto use to find leaks in Fresno buildings?
Controlled water testing, thermal imaging, moisture mapping, drone inspection and, when needed, small investigation openings.
Why does diagnostic work matter before restoration?
Fixing the wrong part of the building wastes money and leaves the leak in place. Confirming the entry point first makes the repair last.
Does Presto provide expert witness or litigation support?
No. Presto does not provide forensic engineering, expert witness testimony or litigation support, and we recommend a specialty forensic engineering firm for that work.
What does a diagnostic report include?
Photographs of the problems we found, each confirmed entry point, the test results and a repair list ranked by priority.
How long does diagnostic work take?
A day or two for a single problem area, or a couple of weeks for a full study of a large building or campus.
