Building Envelope and Facade Inspections

Showalter Property Consultants offers building envelope and facade inspections for Residential, Commercial, and Government Buildings. The building envelope protects the building’s interior and occupants from the exterior elements. These include rain, wind, temperature, and other exterior factors from an adverse effect on the building systems. Water and wind penetration can result in damage to the building’s wall, roof, and structural components. The building envelope can also help with improved heating and cooling performance.The building envelope is a continuous air barrier and thermal boundary that touches and separates conditioned space from unconditioned space or the outside.

At Showalter Property Consultants, our team of experts specializes in building envelope inspection. We understand that a well-functioning building envelope is crucial for maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient space. Our inspectors conduct a thorough assessment of the floor, walls, exterior doors, windows, and roof to ensure the envelope is a continuous and effective barrier. Using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment, we detect air leaks or thermal inefficiencies that may compromise the envelope's performance. Our comprehensive inspection reports provide you with the necessary information to make informed decisions about necessary repairs or improvements. By optimizing the energy efficiency and indoor comfort of your building, our services can help you save on energy costs and enhance the value of your property.
