Residential Building Enclosure Assessment.
Building Enclosure Forensics was retained to evaluate a residence experiencing concerns related to water intrusion and overall building envelope performance. Our assessment included a comprehensive visual evaluation of the roof, exterior wall assemblies, windows, doors, flashing details, and other critical building envelope components to identify potential pathways for moisture intrusion.
Through a systematic investigation and detailed documentation, we identified observed deficiencies, evaluated the building's overall performance, and provided practical recommendations to help the owner make informed decisions regarding maintenance, repairs, and long-term durability.

Client Testimonial
Matthew and the Building Enclosure Forensics team were outstanding to work with. We originally contacted them to help investigate an ongoing moisture issue that our builder had been unable to resolve.
From the beginning, Matthew took the time to understand the history of the issue, explain the testing process, and answer our questions without ever rushing to conclusions. As new information developed, he adjusted the investigation accordingly and focused on identifying the root cause rather than trying to fit the problem into a predetermined answer.
The reports were thorough, well documented, and easy to understand. I especially appreciated that the findings were objective and balanced. When the testing supported a conclusion, Matthew said so. When something couldn't be definitively determined, he was equally transparent about the limitations of the investigation and provided practical recommendations for next steps.
Communication throughout the process was excellent, scheduling was prompt, and the professionalism shown by Matthew and his team gave us confidence that the investigation was being handled the right way.
I would absolutely recommend Building Enclosure Forensics to anyone dealing with a difficult water intrusion or building envelope issue. Their technical expertise, integrity, and commitment to getting to the facts made them a valuable resource throughout our investigation.
