Precision Building Envelope Testing & Water Intrusion Diagnostics

Advanced façade, window, balcony, roof and cladding testing for residential, commercial, strata and municipal buildings across British Columbia.

About EnvelopeTesting.ca

EnvelopeTesting.ca is a specialized building envelope testing division of AnyLeak.ca, serving British Columbia since 1999. Our team combines architectural envelope science with advanced diagnostic technology to identify failure points in exterior building assemblies before structural damage escalates.

With over 25 years of envelope diagnostics expertise, we work alongside architects, engineers, and building owners to deliver insurance-grade documentation using non-invasive investigative methodology and code-compliant testing procedures.

Why Building Envelope Testing is Critical in BC

British Columbia's unique climate conditions create exceptional challenges for building envelope systems. High rainfall exposure combined with coastal wind-driven rain places extreme stress on exterior assemblies throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

Aging building stock constructed before modern envelope standards face particularly high risk of water intrusion and structural deterioration. Code compliance concerns, multi-unit strata exposure, and insurance requirements make proactive envelope testing essential for protecting property values and preventing catastrophic structural damage.

Critical Risk Factors in BC:

  • High annual rainfall and wind-driven rain exposure
  • Aging condominium and multi-unit residential buildings
  • BC Building Code compliance and upgrade requirements
  • Strata council liability and special assessment exposure
  • Insurance claims and litigation risk management

Proactive envelope testing prevents catastrophic structural damage and litigation exposure.
