Post Hurricane Water Intrusion Investigations Provide Valuable Information

In September 2011, Recon Independent Assessments provided investigative testing for two clients in Virginia and North Carolina that experienced water intrusion as the area felt the effects of Hurricane Irene.

The results from the testing were used to formulate an action plan to correct the problems identified.

All parties involved in each project are invested in providing solutions to the issues.

Recon always enjoys assisting in a team effort to keep water outside the building envelope.

If your building is experiencing leaks that are difficult to locate, give Recon a call at 866-584-6868 to discuss your needs and receive a proposal of cost.

The Hurricane Irene Road Show - Building Envelope Consulting

As the tropical storm force winds and rains moved along the Atlantic coast earlier this summer, water intrusion issues were discovered in many buildings as wind driven rain exploited building envelope components that did not hold up to the pressure.

Recon has engagements in Virginia and North Carolina to conduct investigations to determine points of origin for water intrusion on several buildings.  The building facade construction is varied; curtain wall, metal panel,  brick veneer.

If you have an immediate need for assistance, we're always happy to help, give us a call:

Fall Semester 2011 - Field Testing Report

An early Fall quiz at University of North Florida has begun.

Punched openings with HC 75 storefront windows are being tested for water penetration resistance.

Later in the semester, curtain wall will be tested.

The ASTM E 1105 is the standard and test method.

Recon Independent Assessments continues to be a leader in the post secondary education construction market.

Future testing on other campuses will take place this Fall in New York, Hawaii, Florida and Mississippi.

Contact us if your Facilities Department has new buildings under construction that require Third Party Field Testing of installed windows, curtain wall, skylights or storefronts.
