Balcony, envelope and parking garage investigations
When water is getting in, the first job is finding where from. We trace leak paths, assess the waterproofing and the concrete behind it, and give the board a repair plan broken into phases.
What you receive
- A physical investigation that traces active leak paths to their source
- An assessment of waterproofing membranes, roofing, masonry cladding and windows
- An assessment of concrete deterioration in balcony slabs and underground parking garages
- A description of the failure mechanism, so repairs fix the cause rather than the symptom
- Repairs set out in priority phases, with reserve fund recommendations
When to call us
- Recurring leaks near balcony slabs, windows or roof edges
- Staining, cracking or spalling in the underground garage
- The board needs to know whether to repair, restore or replace before approving a budget
- You need a technical basis for choosing and comparing contractor quotes
An example
On a downtown high-rise condominium, Dhruv led a review of every balcony after recurring leaks near the slab connections. The result was a report on how the balconies were failing, phased repairs and reserve fund recommendations. Read the summary.
