Locate saturated brick, block and stone assemblies.
Brick, block and stone facades absorb and trap moisture, particularly on east- and west-facing elevations in Greater Vancouver's climate. Quantitative moisture surveys — using nuclear-density methods, MC sensors and IR — identify saturated assemblies before damage progresses. We deliver these for heritage buildings, mid-rise masonry and institutional facades where understanding water management is a long-term asset issue.
Envelope Assessment is a sub-division of Leak.ca, the Greater Vancouver leak detection company trusted since 1999. Every site visit is delivered by certified technicians using calibrated equipment, with documented findings formatted for insurance, engineering and procurement use.
We don't sell remediation. Our role is independent detection and assessment — the data you and your professional team work from.
