Multi-Unit Residential Complex - Hidden Moisture Crisis Averted

Metro Vancouver, BC

Large Residential Strata

Key Metrics

cost Saved:$500K+
timeframe:3-Day Assessment
units Affected:Multiple Units

⚠️The Challenge

Residents reported musty odors and minor water stains in several units. The strata council needed to determine the extent of the problem before committing to expensive repairs.

Our Solution

Our team conducted comprehensive thermal imaging and moisture mapping of the entire building envelope. We identified widespread moisture intrusion behind the cladding system affecting a significant portion of the building's exterior walls.

Technologies Used:

FLIR Thermal Imaging
Moisture Mapping
Infrared Thermography

Results Achieved

  • Identified over $2M in hidden envelope damage
  • Prevented catastrophic mold outbreak
  • Provided detailed remediation roadmap
  • Secured insurance coverage for repairs

Commercial Office Building - Roof Membrane Failure Detection

Lower Mainland, BC

Multi-Story Commercial Building

Key Metrics

cost Saved:$850K
timeframe:2-Day Inspection
area Covered:Large Commercial Roof

⚠️The Challenge

Property management noticed increased HVAC costs and occasional ceiling leaks. Traditional visual inspections found no obvious issues.

Our Solution

We deployed drone-based thermal imaging and ground-penetrating radar to scan the entire roof membrane. Our analysis revealed multiple areas of trapped moisture and membrane delamination.

Technologies Used:

Drone Thermal Imaging
GPR Scanning
Moisture Detection

Results Achieved

  • Mapped multiple distinct failure zones
  • Prevented interior water damage
  • Reduced energy costs by 18%
