Let Us Look Before You Leak
When it comes to building envelope maintenance, the first and most important component is roof maintenance. This process includes checking:
- Flashings
- Roof penetrations
- Areas around roof-top HVAC units
- Roof-top traffic-surface walk pads
- Roof drains and exterior leader-heads
When it comes to the rest of the building envelope, Standard’s Building Envelope Maintenance program visually inspects:
- Exterior and interior walls
- Door and window penetrations
- Ceiling conditions
- Elements of the foundation condition that are readily accessible
To the trained eye, even just a visual inspection of these building envelope conditions can often reveal minor issues that can be easily addressed and that will often pay long-term dividends. The building that you have been charged with maintaining deserves (and its owners and inhabitants will greatly appreciate) a little TLC. And TLC is exactly what a Building Envelope Maintenance Program will deliver.
So what do you have to lose? Get ahead of these possible compromises and harness the potential to head off major interruptions to your organization’s operations. What in many cases might be considered minor situations if left unchecked—can lead to many more serious building health issues. Let us take a look before you start to leak and schedule an assessment of your building envelope including your roof system by contacting Pete Taylor.
