Building Envelope Testing Courtesy of Mother Nature
Recent storms throughout the Southeast United States have brought with them excessive 24 hour rainfall totals and high winds.
From rooftops and skylights to windows and curtain walls, the water penetration resistance of many structures has been tested in real world conditions that far exceed the test protocols that are typically seen in field quality control testing.
The ASTM E 1105 typically uses a test pressure equivalent to 1/3 the water test pressure used in the laboratory test, ASTM E 331.
After rain events like the ones that have been felt recently, many facilities managers will be looking for the source of unwanted water inside the building envelope.
Recon Independent Assessments has been providing building envelope consulting services to quite a few clients to locate the source of leaks so that the repairs are made accurately.
It is very often diagnosed by owners initially as; "the curtain wall leaked".
In many cases it isn't.
Recon provides a fresh and unbiased set of eyes to evaluate the structure with one goal in mind, finding the responsible component that allowed for water to penetrate the building envelope.
As a Qualified Third Party Testing Agency, we see a lot of conditions during construction that gives us insight into where potential problems may exist.
As providers of Expert Opinions in Construction Litigation we also understand the importance of addressing owners' concerns professionally and accurately. By being proactive and involving a third party to conduct a post event investigation, many times owners never consider litigation.
Failure to address leaks professionally and successfully can lead to court proceedings.
Recon Independent Assessments is available at considerably less expense in the role of third party moisture intrusion investigation consultant versus as opposing counsel's expert.
Our goal is to pursue the truth. By seeking it, time and money is always saved.

Post Tropical Storm Water Intrusion Investigation
After the recent wind driven rains of a tropical storm passed, Recon Independent Assessments was contacted to perform a post event investigation after reports of water intrusion by the owner.
The building's fenestration had been subjected to rigorous testing throughout construction, far in excess of what is seen in most specifications. As a result, the curtain wall and punched openings had a record of having been watertight only months before.
Initial examination on the interior side above the section of curtain wall where water had been seen resulted in observation of staining coming from above the head plate.
After inspection of the brick facade and precast architectural relief above the curtain wall it became apparent that the sole possible source for water to enter into the structure would be through weeps in the masonry.
Water was applied at the weeps in a manner to simulate wind driven rain. Water was evidenced inside above the curtain wall almost immediately.
Through careful and deliberate analysis of the building envelope's components, Recon was able to provide a course of action to it's client to address the water intrusion event in a professional and reasoned manner.
Despite the best building practices and field quality control testing, Mother Nature can exploit an opening that is designed to keep a structure dry. If your client reports a water intrusion event after a wind driven rain event, Recon is standing by to document the cause so a repair can be effected and confidence can be restored.
