Water intrusion can lead to costly interior repairs and problems with Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). The primary role of the building envelope is to maintain a barrier that keeps the outdoor weather elements outside and the indoor space conditioned and sustainable for the occupants.
After construction has been completed and occupants are in the building, even the best project team will occasionally get the call from an owner regarding a water leak that has affected the interior of the building.
Water intrusion can adversely affect your company reputation. Everyone endeavors to do the right thing in most cases and the efforts to locate a source of the intrusion is often an easy task.
Once the probable source is repaired, make certain that you verify the repair to determine it was the sole source of the issue, often times it may only be one in a cluster of openings or penetrations that are causing the water intrusion issue.
Beware the presumption of guilt.
