Coastal Moisture
The coastal environment provides high levels of humidity that constantly try to infiltrate our buildings. Combined with conditioned air inside the building envelope, moisture breaching the exterior envelope of residential dwellings or commercial structures can result in catastrophic damage.
As a result of our experience handling these types of claims, we know when to improve our efforts in determining the point of origin by involving experts, such as forensic engineers. Expert opinions are extremely useful when determining and supporting a liability opinion to an adverse party.
Moisture Intrusion
Water intrusion, moisture intrusion, or water ingress is a serious concern. It can result in significant physical damage to buildings which requires expensive repair and remediation efforts. Additionally the occupants of a building with a water intrusion problem can potentially experience various health problems.
That is why it is important to understand, prevent, and/or identify and remediate water intrusion issues as soon as possible to eliminate or reduce the severity of these negative effects.
