Structural leaks develop through various pathways and can affect different components of your building's structural system. Foundation leaks often result from hydrostatic pressure, poor waterproofing, or settling that creates cracks in concrete or block foundations. These leaks can cause basement flooding, foundation erosion, and structural settling that affects the entire building.

Wall seepage typically occurs where exterior walls meet foundations, around penetrations for utilities, or through compromised exterior finishes that allow water infiltration. Basement water intrusion can result from inadequate drainage, failed waterproofing membranes, or groundwater pressure that exceeds the building's resistance capacity during heavy rains or seasonal water table changes.

Structural moisture problems often develop gradually, causing material deterioration, mold growth, and indoor air quality issues before becoming obviously visible. Our detection methods can identify these problems in their early stages, when repairs are more manageable and less expensive than waiting for visible damage to appear throughout your property.
