For Building Envelope Engineers
Field Investigation Support for Engineering Consultants
Professional leak investigation, thermal imaging, and moisture mapping services to support building envelope engineering assessments and forensic investigations.
Field Investigation Services
Thermal Imaging Surveys
FLIR thermal imaging to identify moisture intrusion patterns, thermal bridging, and insulation deficiencies within building envelopes.
Moisture Mapping
Systematic moisture meter surveys to document the extent of water intrusion and track moisture levels over time.
Water Testing
Controlled water testing at specific envelope locations to confirm leak pathways and validate repair effectiveness.
Field Investigation
On-site investigation to support engineering assessments, condition surveys, and depreciation reports.
Documentation
Detailed field reports with thermal images, moisture readings, and photographic documentation for engineering files.
Repair Verification
Post-repair testing and documentation to verify remediation effectiveness and close out engineering projects.
Supporting Engineering Assessments
Building envelope engineers often need field investigation support—thermal imaging surveys, moisture mapping, and water testing—to inform their assessments and recommendations. StrataLeak.ca provides this specialized field work, allowing engineers to focus on analysis and design.
Our team has over 25 years of experience working alongside building envelope engineers on projects ranging from routine condition surveys to complex forensic investigations. We understand the level of documentation and precision that engineering work requires.
Whether you need a single thermal survey or ongoing field support for a major remediation project, we can tailor our services to your project requirements and reporting preferences.
Common Project Types
- Building envelope condition assessments and depreciation reports
- Forensic investigation of building envelope failures
- Rain screen system performance evaluation
- Window and curtain wall leak investigation
- Roof system moisture surveys
- Parkade waterproofing assessments
- Balcony membrane condition surveys
- Pre-remediation baseline documentation
- Post-remediation verification and quality assurance
- Litigation support and expert witness preparation
Equipment & Methodology
Thermal Imaging: We use professional FLIR cameras capable of detecting temperature differentials that indicate moisture presence, air leakage, and insulation deficiencies within building assemblies.
Moisture Meters: Our calibrated pin and pinless moisture meters provide quantifiable moisture content readings that can be tracked over time and compared against baseline measurements.
Water Testing: We perform controlled water testing using ASTM E1105 and AAMA 501.2 methodologies, or custom protocols developed in coordination with the engineering team.
Documentation: All field work is documented with geotagged photographs, annotated thermal images, and detailed moisture maps that can be incorporated directly into engineering reports.
Working With Your Team
We work as an extension of your engineering team, following your project protocols and reporting requirements. We can provide raw data for your own analysis, formatted field reports for direct inclusion in your documents, or custom deliverables tailored to your project needs.
For ongoing projects, we can establish consistent baseline measurements, track moisture levels over time, and document the effectiveness of remediation efforts—providing the longitudinal data that engineering assessments require.
