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.
