Additionally, they can also provide periodic site visits and supervise performance testing during the construction or remedial work phases to address any identified issues.
Infrared Thermographic Survey
It is a non-destructive process that does not destroy the in-place building materials and components and does not affect, alter, or cancel contractor or manufacturer warranties or guarantees.
The team uses infrared thermography alone with moisture meters to accurately determine if the building envelope has been breached.
Glazing Water Testing
