Penetration & Flashing Audit in Richmond

Most roof leaks come from penetrations and flashings, not the field of the membrane. A targeted penetration and flashing audit reviews every drain, pipe, conduit, equipment curb, expansion joint and edge flashing condition, identifying deteriorating sealants, lifted edges, failed terminations and other common failure modes. We deliver these on commercial and institutional roofs as part of preventive maintenance programs or after a leak event.

What rain leak detection typically finds in Richmond

Flat-roof moisture investigations on numerous big-box and warehouse properties, tower mechanical-room failures.

Richmond's built environment — low-rise wood-frame condos, single-family on small lots, City Centre high-rises, agricultural in east Richmond — shapes how penetration & flashing audit is delivered locally. Richmond sits at 1 m above sea level on the Fraser delta. The high water table makes slab leaks and basement seepage common, and the dyke-protected drainage system means stormwater issues quickly become structural ones. Construction is largely 1980s–2000s with growing concrete-tower density in City Centre.
