Exterior doors, patio doors, thresholds, weather stripping, and sealing
Head, sill, and jamb flashing installation and integration with building paper
Step flashing, valley flashing, chimney flashing, and roof penetration details
Through-wall flashing, cavity flashing, and wall-to-roof transition details
All sealant and caulking applications around windows, doors, and flashing terminations
Comprehensive inspection of all window and door installations, documenting conditions, installation quality, and visible defects. We examine both interior and exterior conditions to identify water staining, damage patterns, and potential failure points.
Infrared scanning to identify hidden moisture behind window frames, cold spots indicating air leakage, and thermal bridging through window assemblies. This non-invasive technique reveals problems not visible to the naked eye.
Controlled spray testing following ASTM and AAMA standards to verify water penetration resistance. We systematically test windows and flashing details to identify specific leak pathways and quantify performance deficiencies.
Comprehensive photographic documentation, detailed notes, and technical drawings showing the location and nature of all deficiencies. Our reports include specific repair recommendations and prioritization based on risk and severity.
Windows and flashing are the most common sources of water intrusion in buildings. Early detection prevents extensive interior damage.
Proper window and flashing performance is essential for building longevity and property value preservation.
Air leakage around windows significantly increases heating and cooling costs. Proper sealing improves energy efficiency.
Water intrusion around windows creates ideal conditions for mold growth, which can affect indoor air quality and occupant health.
Proper documentation of window and flashing conditions is essential for warranty claims and construction defect litigation.
Systematic inspection identifies maintenance needs and helps prioritize repairs to prevent premature failures.
