ASTM CERTIFIED TESTING

Water Penetration Testing

Controlled water testing to identify specific entry points and validate building envelope performance. Our ASTM-compliant testing methods provide definitive answers about your envelope's water resistance capabilities.

Our Water Penetration Testing Methods

ASTM Standard Testing

We follow ASTM E1105 and other industry standards for controlled water penetration testing.

Controlled Water Application

Precise water application at specified pressures and flow rates to simulate real-world conditions.

Performance Validation

Verify that your building envelope meets design specifications and performance requirements.
