Field Testing & Investigating Leaks / Water Intrusion

We've been busy the past few weeks.



From Florida to Mississippi, we've investigated the causes of leaks in a multi-story municipal building with storefront windows and curtain wall, field tested storefront windows in a new medical center & tested curtain wall and storefront systems in new dormitories on a university campus.

It was our privilege and honor to be able to provide services and solutions for each client.

If you're ready to explore how we can work with your project team, please give us a call.

We work to ensure our costs are reasonable and we deliver value to your bottom line.

Field Assembled Mulled Windows Require Careful Attention

We Focus on the Details


Through the use of field quality control testing of installed windows and carefully examining the ongoing work of envelope components being installed, several pitfalls that could have lead to water intrusion in the future have been caught and corrected.

The careful and methodical focus of our visits target details that often get overlooked.

Our experience from past projects and forensic investigations of latent defects and failures directs us to key details to make certain that workmanship and sequencing are successful.

The cost of our QC program is very low.  The benefit is priceless.
