Forensic Investigation & Due Diligence

Forensic Investigation & Due Diligence

We thoroughly investigate moisture intrusion to identify both visible and hidden sources of water entry throughout the building enclosure. Our process includes tracing potential failure points, evaluating vulnerable areas, and assessing the overall condition and performance of exterior walls, roofing interfaces, windows, doors, joints, and other critical enclosure components.
By identifying the underlying causes rather than simply addressing surface symptoms, we provide clear, practical, and cost-effective recommendations for corrective action. Our goal is to help resolve recurring leaks, prevent further moisture-related damage, improve the long-term performance of the building enclosure, and protect your property from future water intrusion and costly repairs.

HOW WE INVESTIGATE

Comprehensive, Technical, and Practical

We use a combination of field investigation, testing, and analysis to understand how water is entering and provide clear paths to resolution.

Forensic Review

Analyze existing drawings, history, and past repairs to understand the problem and guide the investigation.

Moisture Mapping

Use non-destructive testing and observations to identify the extent and patterns of moisture.

Water Intrusion Analysis

Trace water paths, identify failure points, and assess how water is entering the enclosure.

Testing & Diagnostics

Conduct targeted tests such as water testing, IR thermography, and material analysis to confirm findings.

Repair Recommendations

Provide clear, prioritized recommendations and detailed reporting to resolve leaks and prevent recurrence.
