Investigation and Assessment

Building enclosure investigation and assessment services evaluate existing conditions through targeted field review and diagnostic testing. RDH investigates a wide range of enclosure systems, from walls and roofs to glazing and below-grade waterproofing, to identify performance deficiencies, moisture accumulation, water intrusion, and deterioration. Findings are organized into clear deliverables that support repair planning, capital decisions, and risk management.

• Visual assessments document observed conditions to highlight signs of distress, deterioration, or risk in exterior assemblies.
• Invasive assessments reveal concealed construction details by performing selective openings and validating existing conditions against design intent.
• Leak investigation applies field diagnostics to pinpoint the origin and path of water intrusion, with a focus on identifying targeted remediation options.
• Moisture investigation quantifies moisture levels and maps accumulation patterns to understand potential sources and impacts across the enclosure.
• Condition reviews summarize system performance and flag priority areas for repair, replacement, or ongoing monitoring.
• Assessment reports organize findings, testing data, and recommendations into concise deliverables tailored to client decision-making.
