A report of the findings was delivered on the same day to document the observations made.

Water Intrusion Solutions

Recon Independent Assessments has a history of solving problems where water intrusion has plagued a building and attempts to repair them has been unsuccessful.  One of the main issues we encounter is where the approach to the problem is one that begins with a presumption.

"It has to be "'xyz'…"

Recon approaches all of its projects from the standpoint of ignorance of the issue.  Essentially, we don't know what we don't know.  We require testing and examination reveal the issue in black and white.
