Building Science

This is a detailed pre-construction plans assessment coupled with a site visit to identify potential problem areas. Construction strategies and details are established to minimize future moisture and water intrusion problems.

Details Include:

  • Basement waterproofing and footing (French) drain strategies
  • Severe weather flashing details to prevent leaks
  • Roof and ceiling details to prevent ice dams
  • Secondary drain planes and rain screens to keep walls dry
  • Air barrier and vapor retarder details to prevent condensation within the wall cavities.
  • Mechanical fresh air ventilation to reduce indoor humidity and moisture problems
  Building Science Consultation and Training - no excuses from the field -
  In addition to the Building Science Consultation , we provide on-site construction worker training to implement the details and strategies properly. This hands-on approach is preferable to those workers who may have trouble interpreting the text and drawings of certain construction details.
  Mold Prevention Maintenance - an ounce of prevention -
  This on-site training teaches you or your property manager how to conduct a limited mold inspection on your home, apartment building or commercial building as part of a regular maintenance program. It encompasses general problem areas and symptoms, plus the trouble spots that are specific to your building.
