Building Envelope Inspection
Protect your building's structural integrity with comprehensive envelope assessments that identify water intrusion risks.
Your Building's First Line of Defense
The building envelope is your property's primary barrier against water intrusion. A compromised envelope can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. Our comprehensive envelope inspections identify vulnerabilities before they become major problems.
Envelope Components We Assess
- Exterior cladding and siding systems
- Roof systems and flashings
- Window and door installations
- Balconies and deck assemblies
- Foundation walls and penetrations
- Weatherproofing and sealant systems
Critical Interface Points
Water intrusion often occurs at interface points where different building materials meet. We pay special attention to:
Roof-to-Wall Transitions
Critical flashing details and membrane terminations
Window and Door Perimeters
Sealant integrity and water management systems
Balcony and Deck Connections
Waterproofing membrane continuity and drainage
Penetration Sealing
Utility, vent, and equipment penetrations
Our Assessment Process
Visual Survey
Systematic exterior inspection of all envelope components
Thermal Analysis
Infrared imaging to identify thermal bridges and moisture patterns
Moisture Detection
Non-invasive moisture mapping of suspect areas
Performance Evaluation
Assessment of water management and drainage effectiveness
Common Envelope Issues
- • Sealant failure at window and door perimeters
- • Flashing defects at roof-to-wall transitions
- • Cladding system water infiltration
- • Balcony waterproofing membrane failures
- • Foundation wall water intrusion
- • Inadequate drainage and water management
- • Thermal bridging and condensation issues
