The Importance of Regular Building Envelope Inspections

Regular building envelope inspections can identify potential problems early on, when they are less costly and complex to address. A thorough inspection should cover:   

• Roof condition: Check for leaks and damage.   
• Wall integrity: Inspect for cracks, water stains, and deterioration of exterior finishes.
• Window and door performance: Assess for air leaks, water infiltration, and operational issues.
• Foundation stability: Look for cracks, water seepage, and soil erosion.

The frequency of inspections depends on factors such as building age, climate, and materials. For older buildings or those in harsh environments, more frequent inspections may be necessary.
