DO YOU PROVIDE GENERAL BUILDING TROUBLE SHOOTING? Yes. This can include water intrusion studies, EIFS inspections, or Forensic Engineering. We have found that there are few companies that have the expertise or inclination to do this. EXPLAIN WATER INTRUSION STUDIES. Moisture intrusion in buildings has become an important concern. Left unchecked, it can cause mold or damage to structural and non-structural components. When our client discovers a water problem that might be causing mold, we get called in. As building scientists, we understand the flow of humidity and moisture in properties.
