Water intrusion, moisture accumulation, air leakage and deterioration can affect a building’s durability, efficiency and indoor environment. Without understanding the underlying cause, repairs may address symptoms rather than the problem itself.
CR-BPS combines field investigations, diagnostic testing and technical analysis to evaluate building conditions and help clients make informed decisions about repairs, remediation and future performance.
Every building presents different conditions and challenges. Our investigation process is tailored to the issue, the building assembly and the information needed to determine the next steps.
Identify potential water entry points, moisture sources and contributing conditions.
Evaluate damaged building components and investigate possible causes of deterioration.
Investigate moisture conditions that may contribute to microbial growth and related building performance issues.
Use blower door testing to measure air leakage and assess building airtightness.
Analyze temperature patterns that may indicate thermal anomalies, air leakage or moisture-related concerns.
Evaluate how building materials and components interact and affect overall performance.
Use modeling, when appropriate, to investigate complex energy, enclosure and moisture-related questions.
CR-BPS looks beyond visible damage to investigate potential causes and contributing conditions. Findings help clients:
● Understand building performance issues.
● Evaluate potential risks and contributing factors.
● Assess repair and remediation options.
● Prioritize next steps based on available evidence.
● Address underlying causes to help reduce recurring problems.
The scope of each investigation depends on the building and the issue being evaluated.
Understanding how heat, air, moisture and materials interact is essential to diagnosing building performance issues. CR-BPS applies building science principles to investigate problems and evaluate potential solutions.
When building problems affect operations, occupant comfort, durability or repair planning, understanding the cause is an important first step. CR-BPS brings together technical expertise and a whole-building perspective to investigate building performance concerns and help clients determine a practical path forward.
Building problems often require more than a visual inspection. They call for a deeper understanding of how building components and systems perform together.
CR-BPS applies building science, technical investigation and performance analysis to help clients understand building conditions, identify potential issues and evaluate solutions. Explore our project experience to see how we approach complex building challenges.
If you are dealing with water intrusion, moisture concerns, air leakage, damaged building assemblies or another building performance issue, CR-BPS can help you explore the problem and identify the appropriate next steps.
