ASTM E1105 Testing: STOP GUESSING WHERE AND HOW WATER IS GETTING IN!

STOP GUESSING WHERE AND HOW WATER IS GETTING IN!

Water intrusion from the simplest mistakes does not fix itself. It gets worse, more expensive, and harder to defend the longer it goes undiscovered or not repaired.

That is why ASTM E1105 testing is one of the most valuable tools available for consultants, owners, contractors, and attorneys.

ASTM E1105 is an on site test that simulates a wind driven rain by applying controlled spraying of water on the exterior and a negative interior pressure to windows, doors, and wall systems to the rating specified by the manufacturers rating. It allows us to see exactly where water is entering, not where we think it might be.

What this means for you:

1. Pinpoint the exact source of leaks
2. Verify if windows and doors were installed correctly
3. Protect against hidden damage to framing and finishes
4. Gain clear, defensible documentation for disputes
5. Avoid costly trial and error repairs, repair the leak correctly the first time

Most failures we see are not product defects, though that does occur regardless of the manufacturer or cost of the systems. They are more commonly installation and integration issues that go unnoticed until damage appears.

At Building Enclosure Forensics LLC, we specialize in identifying these problems quickly and accurately using ASTM E1105 testing and advanced diagnostic methods.

If you suspect a problem or want to verify performance before it becomes one, now is the time to act.

Know where the water is coming from. Fix it right the first time.
