Air Leakage and Water Leakage Testing at a New Construction Office Building in Indianapolis

Last week we performed air leakage and water leakage testing at a new construction office building in Indianapolis.   The project involved chamber testing per ASTM E1186, utilizing a liquid solution and smoke to identify air leaks in a wall assembly.

A 10′ x 10′ air-tight chamber was constructed and sealed tightly to the exterior wall assembly.   A small fan was used to pressurize and de-pressurize the chamber while a technician used a smoke puffer and liquid solution inside the chamber to identify air leakage sites.

Using a hi-lift, we performed a water leakage test following AAMA 501.2 testing guidelines.   Horizontal and vertical seams were checked utilizing a calibrated sprayer unit.

 

While spraying the exterior, technicians inside the building searched for water infiltration.
