Water Penetration Field Testing - ASTM E 1105 or Mother Nature

Wind & Rain Are in the Forecast!!
If you had your choice, would you rather learn of problems with installed fenestration or perimeter sealants while you're project is being built or by phone call from an owner after a storm?

Ida Tested Installed Windows for Water Penetration in Norfolk & Virginia Beach

Many building owners learned the importance of having a watertight building envelope first hand earlier this month along the eastern seaboard courtesy of Tropical Storm Ida.

Recon Independent Assessments discussed the potential for water intrusion along the coast being elevated during the Atlantic Hurricane Season in an earlier posting just prior to the season starting.

Now, the calls have started to come in for full moisture intrusion investigations, mitigation plans, and subrogation potential on many projects.

Test during construction to better avoid water intrusion around installed windows, doors, and curtain walls.

Quality control and field testing are all too important to the successful completion of the building envelope and can ultimately demonstrate your commitment to delivering a quality structure. Contact Recon today to ensure you are following acceptable testing protocols.

A Healthy Dose of Subtropical Rain is Falling - Did Your Project Get The ASTM E 1105 Testing It Deserved?

Much like in 2001 with Tropical Storm Allison in Texas, there is a Subtropical System making an pre-season visit; this time in Georgia and Florida.





Recon Independent Assessments knows that planning and execution are the key to providing a watertight building envelope on a new structure. Several projects that we've recently provided Field Quality Control Testing on are getting a real world test as Mother Nature sends the coast of Florida and Georgia an early tropical season low pressure system. There is no doubt that some folks are resting a bit easier knowing that the recently installed fenestration and glazing in their projects has been evaluated for field performance via the ASTM E 1105.




Contact Recon Independent Assessments today to allow us to bring you quality ASTM Field Testing that will benefit your project.
