The building envelope experiences tremendous abuse due to environmental exposure.
Water infiltration, temperature variation, freeze-thaw cycles, acid rain, and ultraviolet radiation.
All conspire to damage its components.
This damage typically varies in degree depending on numerous factors.
RSI performs investigations to assist the owner in determining the cause of building envelope problems and recommends the most appropriate and most cost effective solutions.
For the building envelope to perform effectively, the building's many complex components must work together to manage moisture, air and vapor migration into the building.

For detection of leaks, we utilize electrical conductance type of gauges, infrared devices and various types of spray bar apparatus.
We also perform water infiltration testing for all types of roofs, windows, walls, storefronts, below grade waterproofing, plaza decks and other building envelope components.
Infrared imaging uses thermograms or "pictures" to show variations in temperature.
