Performance Testing and Analysis

Our services include testing and exposure of various components of a building to support or refute claims of construction deficiencies. Testing services include level surveys, infrared scans, intrusive testing, ASTM E1105 testing of windows and doors, and lab services. Each of these evaluations help SBSA determine any defects in construction, possible causes, and manifestations of damage. Our testing and analysis can include:

• Relative Level Surveys aid in the assessment of structural movement
• Window Performance Testing can help to ascertain sources of water leaks, as well as the general performance and installation of windows, doors, and the surrounding assembly
• Infrared Imaging are used to identify potential anomalies that may be sources of air loss or water infiltration
• Blower Door Testing can help evaluate the weather- and air-tightness of a building
• Intrusive testing allows our investigators to confirm as-built construction and chase water infiltration. Samples collected during intrusive testing are sent to independent, certified testing labs to confirm what, if any, biological growth or toxins are present
