• Door Installation/Replacement
  Wall Analysis - Layer-by-layer disassembly of the wall cladding system, moisture/vapor barriers, insulation, window/door installation and flashing techniques, wall penetrations, and integrity of structural components. In addition, specific interfaces of flashings and barriers can be examined to determine proper or improper integration of critical waterproofing and weather resistive materials.
• Framing
  Wall Core - provides information such as sheathing, framing, and internal wall components, and existence and physical condition of moisture or vapor barriers located in the wall assembly.
• Skylight Repair/Replacement
  We use multiple types of voluntary diagnostic water intrusion testing protocols and analysis to accurately isolate and reproduce previous water intrusion events caused by storm action as well as multiple industry standards and specifications for analysis of proper building methodology. In addition, we provide diagnostic leak testing for monitoring, quality control, and performance of new existing exterior wall and roof assemblies including doors, operable and fixed glass windows, skylights, shower assemblies, and wall installations. All water testing services may be field modified to conform to any specific building situation. Water intrusion testing results are visually identified, then verified using static-level height differentials, diametrical increase in "ponding" areas, and water intrusion pH paper for verification of source entry points. Procedures include...

General

• Insulation
  Roof Core - provides information such as type and thickness of roofing materials and insulation, type and number of moisture or vapor barriers, adhesive and/or fastening techniques, location and frequency of mechanical fasteners, and whether the existing roof was overlaid onto a previous roof.
• Masonry
  Masonry Testing - In many instances, sample sections of masonry walls (also known as "mock-up walls") are constructed to give both the owner and the architect involved a hands-on look at how the exterior of a residential or commercial structure will appear in the final product. We perform water intrusion testing on such sample/mock-up wall both with no exterior cladding in place as well as with the exterior cladding and sealants in place. In this manner, clients are aware of the specific water retention/repellancy of the walls with and without such cladding installation. With this system of testing, critical information concerning the water management of the structure can be accessed prior to construction.
