Know before you budget

A facade survey that measures, not guesses

A walk-around inspection notes cracks and stains. A building envelope survey tells you what is happening inside the wall. On a Kennesaw retail center, office building or apartment community, that difference matters, because stucco and EIFS can look sound from the parking lot while the sheathing behind a storefront or balcony is soaked.

We work the elevations methodically. Moisture probes go in below window corners, beside storefront frames, under parapet caps and at roof-to-wall transitions, the places water gets in first. Where a tenant has reported a leak, we water test the surrounding details one at a time until it reproduces. Every reading is mapped to its location and photographed.

The report separates active water intrusion from aging finishes and cosmetic issues and describes the repair each condition calls for. Buyers use it in due diligence, lenders and insurers use it to clear conditions, and boards and asset managers use it to plan repairs and reserves.

Envelope inspections in Kennesaw

Every survey follows the same idea: test where water gets in, record what we find, and explain it in plain language.

Moisture probe surveys

Probe readings at high-risk locations across each elevation, recorded by location; each hole is sealed afterward.

Readings, not guesses

Water testing

Controlled water applied to a window, storefront, joint or flashing confirms whether that detail is the leak path before anything is opened.

Leak source confirmed

Due diligence surveys

Condition of the stucco or EIFS envelope documented for buyers and lenders before an acquisition or refinance closes.

Before you commit

Reserve study support

Condition findings by elevation that help condo and HOA boards and their reserve specialists plan envelope work over time.

Real numbers for boards

System identification

We confirm whether the wall is hard coat stucco, barrier EIFS or drainable EIFS, because that decides how it is repaired.

Know what you have

Pre-repair baselines

A documented baseline before a repair, recoat or sealant program is scoped, so the scope is built from evidence.

Scope from evidence

Which survey?

Choosing the right level of testing

Not every building needs the same depth. A visual survey can spot failed sealant, open parapet caps, missing flashing and cladding run below grade, but it can’t tell you whether the sheathing is wet. Probing answers that. Water testing goes one step further and proves which detail is letting water in.

For an acquisition, a refinance or a reserve study, a probe survey across representative areas of every elevation is usually the right level. If a tenant has reported a leak in one location, a focused survey of that area may be enough. We recommend the level that fits your decision and quote it in writing before we start.

Typical survey scopes
Survey	Best for	You get
Visual survey	Routine check, budgeting	Details to watch
Focused probing	One reported leak or stain	Extent of damage
Building-wide probing	Due diligence, reserves	Moisture map by elevation
Water testing	Leak with unclear source	Leak path confirmed

Our process

How an envelope survey works

We coordinate access, tenant notice and any lift or ladder work with you before the survey day.

Walk & identify

We walk every elevation, identify the stucco or EIFS system, and note sealant, flashing, parapets, penetrations and clearance at the base.

System identified
Risk areas marked
Visible defects photographed

Probe & test

Probe holes go in at the marked locations and readings are recorded. Where needed, we water test a detail to confirm the leak path.

Readings by location
Holes sealed afterward
Water tests where needed

Report & review

You get a written report with readings, photos and findings by elevation, and we review it with you, your board or your lender’s consultant.

Questions & answers

Envelope inspection FAQ for Kennesaw

What Kennesaw buyers, boards and property managers ask before a survey.

Can you inspect a Kennesaw property during a due diligence period?

Yes. Tell us the deadline when you call. We will schedule the survey, coordinate access with the seller’s property manager and plan the report around your timeline.

Do you need permission from the city to drill probe holes?

Probe holes are small and sealed after testing, and they are normally a routine part of an inspection. If the building is under a condo or owners association, or is a leased property, get the owner’s or association’s permission first.

How many probes does a commercial building need?

It depends on the size of the building, the cladding and how many windows, storefronts and transitions it has. We focus on the details that fail first rather than a fixed count, and explain our sampling in the report.

Will the report give us repair costs?

The report documents conditions and the repair each one calls for. If you want pricing, we follow with a written, itemized repair scope based on what we found.

Can you verify conditions from another company’s report?

Yes. Send us the report and we will walk the cited conditions, take our own readings and tell you what we confirm.
