Towson, MD Leak Detection & Consulting
Finding the True Source of Water Intrusion in Towson Commercial Buildings
Building Envelope Leak Detection in Towson, MD
In Towson’s offices, medical buildings and campus halls, the stain on the ceiling is rarely where the water got in. Rain pushed by a nor’easter can slip past a worn window seal, run down inside the wall and appear a floor below. Snow and ice can hide a failed flashing until the spring thaw, and water often follows beams, slab edges and insulation before it drips. Patching the visible damage seldom solves anything. Presto Restoration uses controlled testing and careful inspection to show exactly where water enters, bringing more than 25 years of experience to hospitals, offices, schools and apartment communities. In Towson, our goal is to fix the cause once and stop the cycle of repeat repairs.
OUR DIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR TOWSON BUILDINGS
We pick the tests that answer the questions your Towson building is raising and skip the ones that would not change the repair.
Controlled water testing recreates a leak on our schedule. We wet one small area at a time while a technician watches inside, so the failed component is found without waiting for a storm.
Infrared thermography shows temperature differences that reveal wet materials and air leaks, especially on cold days.
Moisture meter readings map how far water has spread, and repeat readings confirm whether repaired areas are drying.
Drones let us inspect upper walls, parapets and rooftop equipment safely, revealing cracked sealant, open joints and loose flashing.
When needed, we make small controlled openings to see flashings, insulation and framing directly, then close and seal them.
Each investigation is sized to the problem, from one leaking office window to recurring leaks across a hospital building, and we explain why each method is included.

Towson Leak Detection & Consulting FAQs
Does Presto offer leak detection as a standalone service in Towson?
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 Towson buildings?
Controlled water testing, infrared thermography, moisture mapping, drone inspection and, when needed, small investigation openings.
Why does diagnostic work matter before restoration?
Fixing the wrong component wastes money and leaves the leak in place. Confirming the entry point first makes the restoration 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?
Photo-documented findings, confirmed entry points, testing results and a prioritized repair scope for your building.
How long does diagnostic work take?
A day or two for one problem area, or a couple of weeks for a full study of a large building. Water testing needs above-freezing temperatures.
