Rain Leak Test

What FAS does.

Tell FAS when the water appears, which rain brings it on (regular, heavy or wind-driven rain, or a hurricane), where you first notice it and what has already been repaired. We agree on the testing area and access before using controlled water to investigate the reported leak. Rain entering around windows, doors, walls or the roof is a different problem from ground water reaching the building because of drainage. A stain or damp floor alone does not identify the entry point, and symptoms alone do not show that water is coming through the foundation. You receive photos and written findings with the likely entry sources, the assumptions behind them and an explained repair path, including when another trade may be needed. Any repair work is agreed separately. If FAS performs it, the $249 fee is credited toward that work.

What we check.

• Where moisture first appears and which rain conditions trigger it.
• Whether water may be entering around windows, doors, walls or the roof, or reaching the building from the ground.
• Inside and outside photos, previous repairs and access to the affected area.

What happens next.

1. Describe the leak and share inside and outside photos if you have them.
2. Martha from FAS confirms the testing scope and collects the $249 fee before the appointment.
3. Review your photos, written findings and explained repair path.
