Water Intrusion Testing & Investigation
Fenestration Testing Laboratory (FTL) is the one of the country's premier Third Party water intrusion testing agencies that provides services nationwide. We perform our services on the products and systems that make up a building's envelope for air and water penetration. What separates us from other test companies that offer similar services is that we hold ourselves to the highest standards, and demonstrate that by maintaining valid accreditations as a test laboratory by the industry's three major governing bodies: AAMA, IAS, and WDMA. In addition, we are also an ISO/IEC Approved 17025 test facility that is recognized worldwide. The experience, knowledge and insight our team here at FTL brings to the table is simply unmatched.
We conduct testing on both new construction projects for Quality Assurance purposes (ASTM E1105, AAMA 501.2, AAMA 502, and AAMA 503) as well as on existing structures that have problematic water leaks and need a Forensic Investigation to be conducted to determine the source of the water intrusion issues; many times the source of water intrusion is not a window or door as many people tend to believe, but the surrounding construction such as the wall system, roof system, and/or the decking system.
As a Third Party test agent we remain unbiased and neutral in the testing process. We are brought in to provide test results that detail whether or not the products and systems installed on a project were installed according to accepted trade practices, and also to determine whether or not the products and systems are able to pass water intrusion tests as outlined in AAMA test standards and ASTM test methods. Our calibrated spray rack systems are traceable to our fully accredited test lab and are designed to simulate a predetermined rainfall event while we conduct our tests and investigations. We approach every job systematically and walk through the process, step-by-step, with all parties involved so there is no confusion as to what is going to be tested, and how the testing will be conducted. Our goal is to deliver these test results with accuracy, precision, and in a cost effective manner to our clients.
Commercial & Residential Water Leak Detection
If you are experiencing water leaks in your home or building around your windows, doors, storefronts, decks, or walls, and need assistance in locating where the the leak is originating from, then you've come to the right place! In addition, our consultants can help you determine if your products are defective and/or installed incorrectly. When we first arrive on site our test teams take a condition survey of the test area and then proceed to conduct a series of product and isolation tests to find out exactly where the leak is coming from. Please note that we are able to respond most quickly to those located in the Southern California region including but not limited to: The Greater Los Angeles Area, Orange County, Inland Empire, Palm Springs Area, High Desert, and the San Diego County Area.
