We're proud to say that our reputation preceeds us.
It is this reputation that allows us to perform our services in a range of environments from California's most exclusive residences to more modest homes and condos.
TLS Laboratories is available to help homeowners resolve difficult water intrusion problems.
We recreate the problem leak using a methodically applied water spray. The methods used by our field experts will allow us to identify the source (or the sources) of the leak. Once we know the source (or the sources) of the water intrusion, we may prescribe a course of action that will stop the leak from continuing.
Our testing experts photodocument our testing and actually photograph the leak as it occurs. This is useful if insurance reimbursement is possible, or for documenting who may be responsible for a leak.
If arranged for in advance, video will be taken of the testing process; professionally created DVDs may be produced that demonstrate any leaks discovered.
After the testing is completed, a professionally prepared report is generated that accurately describes the leaks discovered; opinions are given that describe what is necessary to mitigate the problems.
Fees for our services vary upon where the home is located. TLS Laboratories has traveled both nationally and internationally to assist homeowners with leak problems.
Testing fees are usually based upon a daily rate plus travel expenses and fees.

| What are people saying about us? |
Gene was referred to us as a defense expert for an exclusive custom home in Bel Aire, California. We represented the window manufacturer who was being sued for defective product. The home was a mess. The home definitely had serious water intrusion problems. Initially, the plaintiffs brought action against the window manufacturer only.
Everyone was certain the windows were the sole cause of the water intrusion experienced by this homeowner. Gene was the first expert to predict that the windows and doors may be fine, that the manufacturer may not have any responsibility. He brought in his team of testing experts, and was able to successfully demonstrate that the home had many serious water intrusion problems; the windows and doors however did not appear to contribute any water into the home. The insurance carrier and the window manufacturer are thrilled with Gene's expertise. He may have saved them as much as a million dollars in costs of litigation and repair.
I would highly recommend Gene Summy as a defense expert to any attorney in need of a true professional.
