Balcony & Window Envelope Inspection
Focused inspection of high-risk penetration points and interfaces in building envelopes. Balconies and windows are among the most common sources of water intrusion, requiring specialized assessment techniques and expert knowledge of these critical building components.
Specialized Inspection Services
Window Perimeter Testing
Comprehensive assessment of window installations, sealants, and flashing systems to identify water intrusion paths.
Balcony Membrane Inspection
Detailed evaluation of balcony waterproofing systems, drainage, and structural interfaces.
Interface Assessment
Critical examination of building envelope interfaces where different materials and systems meet.
Why Balconies & Windows Are High-Risk Areas
Balcony Vulnerabilities
- Horizontal surfaces collect water and snow
- Complex waterproofing membrane systems
- Multiple penetrations for railings and drains
- Structural movement and settlement effects
Window Vulnerabilities
- Perimeter sealant failures over time
- Inadequate flashing installation
- Thermal expansion and contraction stress
- Wind-driven rain pressure
