Condo Window & Sliding Glass Door Retrofit Evaluations

The end of the Atlantic Hurricane Season is here and for the most part, the dry season is upon us in Florida. Many common interest ownership associations will be evaluating their buildings to plan for any capital projects in the upcoming year like retrofitting or replacing existing windows and sliding glass doors.

Often, problematic water intrusion issues will be incorrectly attributed to window systems rather than issues related to flashing failures or interface deficiencies.

Recon Independent Assessments can provide water intrusion investigations for a reasonable cost to help determine the proper course of action to resolve leaks. Knowing the right course can save tens of thousands of dollars if not hundreds, so invest in having professionals conduct a forensic testing and evaluation of the envelope prior to jumping into a full retrofit project.

Ida Tested Installed Windows for Water Penetration in Norfolk & Virginia Beach

Many building owners learned the importance of having a watertight building envelope first hand earlier this month along the eastern seaboard courtesy of Tropical Storm Ida.

Recon Independent Assessments discussed the potential for water intrusion along the coast being elevated during the Atlantic Hurricane Season in an earlier posting just prior to the season starting.

Now, the calls have started to come in for full moisture intrusion investigations, mitigation plans, and subrogation potential on many projects.

Test during construction to better avoid water intrusion around installed windows, doors, and curtain walls.

Quality control and field testing are all too important to the successful completion of the building envelope and can ultimately demonstrate your commitment to delivering a quality structure. Contact Recon today to ensure you are following acceptable testing protocols.

Transportation Facility Field Testing of Installed Windows

Recon Independent Assessments helps to deliver another quality project .

Recon Independent Assessments provided comprehensive testing and evaluation of all installed window systems in a new transportation facility in Volusia County Florida. The testing was undertaken throughout the entire project and provided great oversight of the process and drove quality.

The result of the integrated testing program was an extremely happy Public Sector client/owner.

It's always more beneficial to identify problems while the project is ongoing rather than responding to water intrusion issues after a new building is occupied.
