The Bronx

Water intrusion investigation in The Bronx

The Bronx is dominated by pre-war and post-war apartment buildings with central risers and heavy house electrical load, alongside industrial waterfront and detached housing in the north and east. We provide water intrusion investigation across every neighborhood listed below, using a FLIR E96 thermal camera and confirming each finding with a second instrument before it reaches your report.

Across The Bronx

The same service, different buildings.

The Bronx covers several distinct kinds of building, and each one fails differently. Here's what water intrusion investigation looks like in the ones we work in most.

Pre-war elevator apartment buildings and post-war co-ops

Facade water at window heads and lintels is common in masonry buildings of this age. Infrared narrows whether the source is deteriorated pointing, a failed lintel, or the window assembly itself — three very different repairs with three very different responsible parties.

Waterfront and low-lying property exposed to salt air

Wind-driven rain finds entry points that ordinary rain never reaches, and flood history leaves moisture in assemblies long after the visible damage is repaired. Infrared maps what is still wet inside the structure.

Large residential complexes and tower-in-the-park developments

Roof and facade water in large complexes often surfaces as a pattern across several units. Mapping it as a whole distinguishes one systemic failure from several unrelated ones.

Detached single-family houses

Below-grade water, window and door flashing, and roof-to-wall transitions account for most intrusion. Infrared identifies the entry point before finished basement walls are opened.

Why us and not a plumber

We write the report. We never bid the repair.

A plumber who finds your leak also sells you the repair. A roofer who inspects your roof also quotes the replacement. That isn't dishonesty — it's structure, and it quietly shapes every finding. We are an independent diagnostic company: we do not perform repairs, we do not sell materials, and we take no referral fee from any contractor. The report is the entire product, so there is nothing for us to gain by finding more than is there.

No repair revenue

We can't profit from the work we recommend, because we don't do the work. If your roof is 8% wet, the report says 8% — not "replace the field."

No referral fees

We accept nothing from contractors for sending work their way. Take our findings to your own plumber, roofer, or electrician, or put them out to bid.

Findings that carry weight

Boards, managing agents, and insurance carriers treat an independent finding differently than an estimate from the company that wants the job.

We'll tell you it's nothing

Sometimes the answer is condensation, or a warm duct, or a neighbor's roof. We're paid the same either way, so we say so.
