Steep Slope Roofing Inspections
Roofs are often the culprit in building enclosure failures
Water > Mould > Rot
During our years of work on building enclosure restoration, we’ve seen many reasons for failure. Rain is often to blame, but moisture that penetrates the building exterior or is trapped within the envelope can be due to a variety of reasons, including condensation, glass and material finish failures. The dramatic temperature changes from day to day in Alberta can also lead to cracking and component separation.
The Probem
The roof over your head isn’t just a metaphorical symbol of shelter, it is one of the most important parts of your building’s enclosure. Sometimes deficiencies in the original roof design lead to undesired moisture, temperature control issues and other signs of deterioration. Other times, extreme weather is the problem.
The Inspection
To perform a thorough investigation of envelope conditions, we analyze and assess the condition of your roof to determine any causes of failure. This enables us to provide you with the most comprehensive information you need for informed decisions regarding repair and restoration strategies.
The Solution
At Wapiti Inspections, we offer expert guidance for both commercial and residential roofs, a key component in building enclosures and envelopes. We employ infrared thermography and dedicated software to help determine the causes of failure. If your building’s roof has leaks, mould or rot, we’ll provide the information and strategies you need to start the repair process.
Our Process
Our commitment to you begins with a detailed inspection of your roof. Our report on our findings includes our recommendations for restoration and a detailed budget. We also offer project management to complete your restoration.
