Waterproof Testing Services
When it comes to construction, one element never sleeps—water. It finds the smallest cracks. It seeps into corners. It lingers beneath surfaces. And if your building isn’t protected, it doesn’t take long for that moisture to cause real damage.
At Falcon Laboratory LLC, we help you take control before that happens. Our waterproof testing services are designed to give you the complete picture of how your materials stand up to the elements—so you’re never caught off guard. We specialize in water resistance testing, waterproofing leak tests, and waterproofing membrane testing that go beyond a simple “pass or fail” We give you real insights, data, and peace of mind.
Why Waterproof Testing Matters—And Why It's Often Overlooked
Waterproofing often doesn’t get the attention it deserves—until something goes wrong. But when a leak shows up on a ceiling or wall, it’s already been causing damage for days, weeks, or even months. The materials behind your finishes—your concrete, insulation, steel—may already be compromised. That’s why waterproof testing should never be an afterthought. Whether you’re a contractor, developer, architect, or consultant, understanding how your materials perform under pressure (literally) is critical. And that’s where we come in.
We Don't Just Test—We Help You Understand
At Falcon Lab, good testing isn’t just about collecting data. It’s about making sense of it. We take pride in turning technical results into simple, human explanations you can actually use. We’ll never hand you a report full of numbers and say, “Here you go.” Instead, we’ll walk you through what the results mean, how they affect your project, and your options. We aim to make waterproof testing easy, insightful, and valuable—so you can make confident decisions without guesswork.
What We Test – And How It Helps You
We use ASTM standards that are well-known in the industry to test for waterproofness. That implies that every result you get from us is based on dependable, internationally accepted methods and is trusted by regulatory bodies.
However, the true significance is that every test tells a story. And collectively, they tell you precisely how your supplies will work in the actual world.
1. Tensile Strength Specimen Testing (ASTM D5147)
This test shows how much stress a waterproofing membrane can take before it breaks. Why is that important? Because in the real world, materials expand and contract constantly—under heat, cold, or structural movement.
If your membrane can’t stretch without tearing, it’s only a matter of time before leaks start. We make sure yours won’t let you down.
2. Tear Resistance Specimen Testing (ASTM D5147)
Picture this: a tool slips during installation and nicks the membrane. Does that small cut stay put—or turn into a big, spreading tear? Tear resistance testing helps you answer that. It shows how well your membrane resists rips and tears once they’ve started critical for long-term durability.
3. Puncture Resistance Specimen Testing (ASTM E154)
Let’s face it—construction sites are busy places. Things get dropped. Equipment rolls over surfaces. Accidents happen. We test how much force your membrane can take before it’s punctured. That means you’ll know whether it can withstand real-world conditions or is too delicate for high-traffic zones.
4. Softening Point Specimen Testing (ASTM D36)
Heat is no joke in the UAE. Roofs and surfaces can get extremely hot—and if your waterproofing materials start to soften or melt, you’re in trouble. We check at what temperature your material starts to lose its shape. That helps you choose membranes that stay firm and effective—even in scorching conditions.
5. Penetration Specimen Testing (ASTM D5)
This test looks at how firm or soft a material is. If it’s too soft, it might deform over time. It could crack during application or in cold weather if it’s too hard. We help you find the sweet spot—so your membrane is easy to work with and built to last.
6. Water Absorption Specimen Testing (ASTM D570)
It is one of the most critical tests. It tells us how much water your material soaks up when submerged or exposed. Materials that absorb too much moisture can become weak, heavy, and even start growing mold. We ensure your waterproofing system keeps water out—today, tomorrow, and years later.
It's Not Just About the Numbers—It's About What They Mean for Your Project
Here’s the thing: technical specs are only helpful if you know how to apply them. You don’t need to be a lab expert—that’s our job. What you need is confidence that your materials are up to the task. That they’ll hold up under pressure. They won’t let moisture sneak in behind your walls, under your tiles, or beneath your foundations.
That’s why, after every test, we take the time to explain your results in plain language. What’s working. What’s not? And what to do about it. Whether choosing between products, verifying an installation, or planning for long-term durability, we help you make the smart call.
When Should You Get Waterproof Testing?
- Waterproof testing isn't just for new builds—it can save you time, money, and stress in all scenarios.
- Before installation – Make sure the products you use perform the way the supplier claims.
- During construction – Spot issues early so you can make corrections before finishes go in.
- After completion – Confirm that your installation is solid and leak-proof before handover.
- During warranty inspections, prove that a product failure wasn't due to poor installation.
- For ongoing maintenance, test older systems to assess their current performance.
- Wherever you are in your project timeline, we'll help you ensure your waterproofing is truly watertight
