Serving NYC & Long Island
Staten Island
Staten Island runs from the dense North Shore around Saint George to detached housing across the middle of the island, with an East Shore that carries real flood exposure and a West Shore industrial corridor. 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 Staten Island
Staten Island 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.
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.
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.
Wall panel joints, roof-to-wall transitions, and mechanical penetrations are the usual paths. Infrared covers large areas quickly, which is what makes surveying a full building envelope practical.
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.
Coverage
Why us and not a plumber
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.
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."
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.
Boards, managing agents, and insurance carriers treat an independent finding differently than an estimate from the company that wants the job.
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.
