Technology & Methods
We utilize cutting-edge technology and proven methodologies to provide accurate, non-invasive building envelope assessments.
Thermal Imaging
Our advanced infrared cameras detect temperature variations in building materials, allowing us to identify hidden moisture, air leaks, and insulation deficiencies without invasive procedures.
Infrared & Acoustic Moisture Sensors
We use specialized sensors to detect and measure moisture content in building materials, helping to pinpoint the exact location and extent of water intrusion.
Building Envelope Testing Tools
Our toolkit includes blower door equipment for air leakage testing and fog generators for visualizing air movement patterns, allowing us to identify performance issues in the building envelope.
Non-Invasive Diagnostics
Whenever possible, we use non-destructive testing methods to assess building envelope performance, minimizing disruption to occupants and avoiding unnecessary damage to building finishes.
Data Analysis Software
We use specialized software to analyze thermal images, moisture readings, and other diagnostic data, providing accurate interpretation of test results and clear documentation of building conditions.
Reporting & CAD-Ready Diagrams
Our comprehensive reports include detailed diagrams, photographs, and thermal images, providing clear documentation of building conditions and specific recommendations for repairs and maintenance.
Our Approach
Comprehensive Assessment
Our building envelope assessments begin with a thorough visual inspection of all exterior components, including walls, windows, doors, roofs, and penetrations. We document existing conditions, identify visible defects, and note areas of concern for further investigation.
Following the visual inspection, we use our specialized equipment to conduct non-invasive testing, including thermal imaging, moisture scanning, and air leakage testing. These diagnostic tools help us identify hidden problems that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Detailed Reporting
After completing our assessment, we prepare a comprehensive report that includes detailed findings, photographic documentation, thermal images, and specific recommendations for addressing any issues we've identified.
Our reports are designed to be clear and actionable, providing property owners and managers with the information they need to make informed decisions about building envelope maintenance and repairs. We prioritize recommendations based on urgency and potential impact, helping clients develop effective maintenance plans.
