The importance of sealants is understood
to be a critical part of the building envelope, however the attention to detail in
maintaining the correct sealant joint profile is one of the most often causes of water intrusion in
investigations performed by Recon Independent Assessments.
Sealant separating from adjacent construction materials is often the cause of many
leaks.
When the depth profile of the joint is too thin, there is simply too little adhesion to perform as designed.
When the critical connection fails due to lack of adhesion, the building envelope fails.
The resulting water intrusion becomes problematic for the building occupants.
Recon Independent Assessments provides Building Envelope Consulting for new construction to help avoid water intrusion events from occurring.
Recon's experience in identifying existing conditions that are causing leaks is extensive.
