Building Envelope Evaluation Services
Inspec’s building envelope evaluation services help facility managers and owners proactively identify failures in wall cladding, insulation, waterproofing, and air/moisture barriers. We deliver detailed assessments that support smart repairs and improve long-term performance.
What Is a Building Envelope Evaluation?
A building envelope evaluation examines all systems that separate interior from exterior conditions. This includes facades like EIFS, precast, masonry, metal panels, and curtainwall. Our assessments reveal moisture entry, material degradation, air leakage, and energy loss.

Why Building Envelope Evaluations Matter
Every day, your building envelope is exposed to wind, rain, sun, and movement. Over time, seals fail, gaps open, and water finds its way in. If left unchecked, small problems turn into major repairs. Routine envelope evaluations help you avoid costly leaks and energy loss.
Our Building Envelope Evaluation Services Include:
- Moisture detection using infrared and handheld tools
- Sealant failure mapping and crack tracing
- ASTM E1105 water testing and adhesion pull tests
- Thermal bridging and air leakage analysis
- Annotated photo documentation and priority reports
