 EnviroSpec,
Inc., founded in 1996, is a residential and commercial
inspection company that specializes
in the inspection and evaluation of exterior building
envelopes or claddings. Although in
the past, our primary focus had been Exterior Insulation & Finish
Systems (EIFS) clad structures, we now include everything: from
brick to cedar,\stone and stucco. Through our
experience over time, it has become apparent that
there is a need for evaluation and maintenance of
all types of exteriors.
As building materials become more “eco-friendly” they
also become more vulnerable to damage due to moisture
intrusion. The very nature of “green” construction
means that these building materials are “environmentally
friendly” and biodegradable. Hence, they
are not as durable. This is not to say that a well
constructed building can’t last for years using
these materials, it simply means that they require
a higher level of “maintenance” to ensure
their long-term performance.
Regardless of the type
of exterior cladding, owners should have the exterior
of their building inspected regularly for leaks and
moisture intrusion. Many
of these can occur through leaks in window construction
including mullions or miter joints, failed caulking,
inadequate or failing flashing details as well as
other potential breaches in the exterior envelope.
