Modern Wall Systems is a leading company for moisture analysis and leak investigations. What’s the difference between an exterior inspection and a leak investigation? Modern Wall Systems evaluates the overall condition of building cladding systems, material interactions, standard installation practices, and code compliance.
How do we find leaks?
The leak investigation will use multiple tools and thermal imaging to trace evidence of water intrusion. These areas may be specific concerns or general issues related to high humidity or water damage. Homes and buildings are each unique living environments. These are in-depth and investigative inspections.
