Building Envelope Review - Failure Analysis - Leak Locating - Field Testing - Roof Uplift

Recon has been busy.  From several projects around the Tampa, FL area to Orlando, Gainesville, Jacksonville and Pensacola; we even managed to squeeze in a project up in Virginia over the past few weeks.

Field testing with the ASTM E 1105 / AAMA 502 & 503 has been getting a lot of attention on the ever busy apartment building boom thats ongoing.

Working directly for the owner on a large apartment development is keeping envelope details on track and quality high.  After determining the best configuration of flashing and wrap on a mock-up, its been an ongoing effort to ensure the buildings follow.

Plenty of FM - 152 roof uplift  requests are coming in, it looks like the fall will be busy in that regard.

Don't forget Electronic Vector Mapping is available for live roof installs to ensure no breaches or pinholes exist in the membrane before installing media and live plantings.  Contact us today to get surprised by how affordable we've made it. 407-948-4983.

When the next tropical event happens, we expect to be busy providing cause and origin on leak issues on large custom coastal homes

Building Envelope Nearing Completion

Recon Independent Assessments has been involved in the project from Design Review through Construction. By providing periodic Quality Control Visits and Consulting through the building process, Recon helped head off problems and identified areas that required special attention to ensure a watertight delivery.

Components covered included curtain wall, composite metal panels, roofing, skylights, terra cotta facade and sealants.

Its always a pleasure seeing a building take shape and march along towards completion.

Masonry Absorption Testing an Added Value


Recon Independent Assessments recently traveled to Southwest Georgia to provide ASTM Field Testing for Air Infiltration and water Penetration on newly installed fenestration at Bainbridge College.




As part of Recon's Enhanced Moisture Intrusion Prevention Program, we included Masonry Absorption Testing on the brick and mortar exterior.


If your project includes Concrete and Masonry, contact Recon for a proposal for Absorption Rate Testing.


Waterproofing Solutions for Concrete and Masonry are important steps in providing a sustainable building for the owner and occupants.


Typically an "included" value with Window Testing, the Absorption testing is available a la carte.
