The majority of all moisture related building enclosure failures are generally caused by poor or inadequate control of water leakage, air infiltration, or vapor diffusion in and out of an assembly. Our building science related expertise include:
- Water, Air, and Vapor Transport Evaluations including the proper use, location and continuity of weather-resistive barriers, vapor retarders, and air barriers
- Moisture and Condensation Investigations
- Hygrothermal Modeling – DBI staff are trained and experienced in the proper use and limitations of WUFI Pro hygrothermal modeling software
- Mold Cause and Origin Investigations
- Building Ventilation Evaluations
- Thermal Insulation Investigations
- Pipe Freezing Incidents
- Ice Dams
