Finding The Source of Hard To Find Leaks in The Building Envelope

Recon Independent Assessments provides specialized consulting services to contractors, owners, and architects that are experiencing water intrusion in their buildings and have experienced difficulty locating the source.

The approach employed by Recon is geared towards exploring every component and interface as a potential source.  A systematic investigatory analysis of the problem is designed to ensure that all possibilities are examined.

Recon executes the plan using all available technology at their disposal.  What may appear to be no problem at all to the naked eye, may in fact be a potential clue to solving the hidden leak.

An example of the same area as viewed normally or via a thermal scan utilizing infrared: 





Recon is available in Cincinnati, OH or Nationwide to perform Building Envelope Leak Investigations, ASTM Water Penetration Resistance Field Testing, AAMA 502 & 503 Field Testing for Operable Windows, Curtain Wall & Storefront Window Systems.

Moisture Mapping Survey with Sliding Glass Door and Window Installation Validation




Recon Independent Assessments had the pleasure of joining the team conducting an exterior re-cladding project along the beach in Virginia Beach. A couple of long days were required to overcome the obstacles presented by working in an environment where occupants were present.
ASTM E-783 and ASTM E-1105 testing was conducted throughout the 15 story condominium. Four types of fenestration were encountered.





A comprehensive survey was conducted throughout many of the individual units in the structure to assist in understanding potential sources of water intrusion from a recent nor'easter that affected the area with high winds and rain.
Recon Independent Assessments is available for your project.
