What is a facade leak detection report
A facade leak detection report is the complete and verifiable expert report in which we objectively record the cause of facade leakage and substantiate it with measurement data, photos, thermograms, and repair recommendations. This report is suitable for insurers, Owners' Associations, contractors, and property managers, and aligns with building physics guidelines such as NEN 2778 for moisture in buildings and NEN EN 13187 for thermographic assessment of the building envelope. Thanks to our nationwide service, VCA VOL and NEN 3140 certification, and close collaboration with insurers, you can use the report immediately for claim processing and repair planning.
Methods for facade leak detection and reporting
We combine multiple non-destructive techniques to arrive at a single conclusive conclusion. The mix of measurements is tailored to the type of facade, year of construction, and details such as window frame connections and expansion joints. Examples include thermography with FLIR cameras according to NEN EN 13187, water tests conforming to EN 1027 for facade elements and AAMA 501 point two for dynamic precipitation, cavity endoscopy, and accurate moisture recording with Protimeter instruments.
- ThermographyInfrared images map thermal bridges, wet zones, and heat losses for rapid identification of penetration and leakage.
- Water proof: controlled spraying of critical details such as frame connections and jointing to reproduce and locate leakage
- Endoscopy in the cavity: visual inspection of anchors, open weep holes, membranes, and lead flashing without demolition work
- Tracer gas and smoke: detection of micro-leaks and air currents in complex facades and ventilated cavities
If you want to delve deeper into the technology behind images and measurements, see how we use an accurate infrared facade scan Translate thermal anomalies into clear conclusions in the report.
Our working method step by step
- Intake and file creation: we collect complaints, year of manufacture, set of drawings, and insurance information so that the investigation is spot on immediately
- On-site inspection: where possible, a specialist is on site within one hour and assesses risk details and weather influences
- Measurements and simulations: use of thermography, water test, tracer gas, and moisture measurements according to the correct protocols
- Analysis and correlation: linking measurement data to building physics such as capillary suction, wind pressure, and condensation
- Report within three days: complete facade leak detection report with cause-and-effect chain, repair advice, and photo attachment
- Debriefing and handlingWe discuss the advice with you and, if desired, with the insurer, with no cure no pay certainty.

Typical causes and case studies
Our experience of more than fifteen years teaches us that the core often lies in the details. Below is a selection of patterns we encounter daily in facade elements in residential and non-residential buildings.
- Facade penetration due to rain: combination of driving rain, porous masonry and missing hydrophobic layer
- Faulty window frame connection: leaking sealant joints and missing compression tape with wet inner side around reveals
- Lead flashing and chimney detail: capillary leak along poorly inserted flashing and lack of waterproof membrane
- Cavity contamination and thermal bridge: sagging insulation and mortar protrusions with moisture transport inwards

Frequently asked questions
What is a facade leak detection report and what does it contain?
A facade leak detection report is your complete evidence file, from cause to repair advice. You receive clear conclusions regarding facade leakage, such as penetrating damp, rainwater entering through weep holes, leaking lead flashing, or faulty window frame connections, supported by photos, thermographic images, moisture and temperature measurements, and findings from spray tests, smoke tests, or endoscopy. We link every signal to specific structural detailing.
We deliver a Comprehensive Expertise Report within three days, tailored to insurer requirements. Includes priorities, a phased repair plan, and practical tips to prevent further damage. If you are opting for insurance application, view our step-by-step plan in Report for facade leakage insurance.
How do you investigate a facade leak without demolition work?
We combine structural inspection with non-destructive measurement methods. Examples include infrared thermography to visualize thermal bridges and moisture trails, accurate moisture measurements using protimeters and hygrometers, cavity endoscopy, and a controlled spray test or smoke test to trace rainwater ingress and air leaks. Where necessary, we use dye tracers and data logging of temperature and relative humidity.
Everything is done without any hacking or breaking, using professional equipment and with a 99 percent success rate. Thanks to fifteen years of experience, VCA VOL certification, and NEN 3140, we work safely and purposefully.
