YOUR RECOVERY PARTNER AT RESCUE

Post-Hurricane Inspection Services

Building Science Authority is your partner in recovery after a hurricane. Our comprehensive inspection services are designed to give you a detailed understanding of your building’s condition after the storm. From structural integrity to indoor air quality, we leave no aspect unchecked, providing you with actionable insights to protect your property and prevent long-term damage.

Structural Inspections: A Comprehensive, Top-to-Bottom Approach

When a hurricane hits, the structural integrity of your building is often compromised, sometimes in ways that aren’t immediately visible. Our top-to-bottom structural inspections cover both the interior and exterior of your property. We leverage cutting-edge UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) technology to access hard-to-reach areas like tall roofs or remote sections, ensuring every part of your structure is carefully examined. This technology provides precise imaging that identifies potential weak points, fractures, or damage caused by wind, debris, or water infiltration. We aim to uncover all hidden damage, protecting you from future structural failure.

Environmental Consultations: A Strategic Recovery Plan

After the chaos of a hurricane, it can be hard to know where to start. Our environmental consultations help you assess the damage and provide a clear roadmap for moving forward. Whether you’re dealing with water damage, compromised materials, or air quality issues, our experts help you prioritize repairs, address immediate risks, and develop a long-term strategy for restoring and safeguarding your property. This service is not just about inspection—it’s about helping you make informed decisions to protect the health of your building and its occupants.

Interior Moisture Mapping: Pinpoint Hidden Moisture

Moisture can seep into walls, floors, and ceilings, leading to long-term damage like mold growth, wood rot, and structural weakening. With our advanced moisture mapping technology, we can accurately locate areas of trapped moisture inside your building. This service goes beyond surface-level checks to provide a complete picture of your property’s interior environment, ensuring you know exactly where water has infiltrated and what needs to be dried or replaced.

Leak Tracing: Identify and Solve the Source of Leaks

Water leaks can originate from multiple sources, especially after a hurricane. Using specialized tools, we conduct thorough leak tracing to identify the precise origin of leaks, whether they’re coming from the roof, windows, or plumbing systems. This service is particularly valuable for multi-story buildings, where leaks can travel and affect multiple floors, leading to widespread damage. By pinpointing the exact location of leaks, we help you implement targeted repairs, preventing further water intrusion and damage.

Moisture Retention Analysis: Understand the Extent of Water Damage

Hurricanes often leave behind moisture that lingers within the structure of a building, potentially causing long-term damage. Our moisture retention analysis looks at both interior and exterior walls to detect areas where water is still present. This service is essential for preventing issues like mold growth, insulation damage, and deterioration of building materials, all of which can lead to expensive repairs if not addressed promptly. We provide detailed reports on where moisture is hiding so you can take proactive steps to dry out your property and avoid future problems.

Roof Inspections: Assessing the Hardest-to-Reach Areas

Roof damage is one of the most common issues after a hurricane, but accessing high or difficult-to-reach areas can be a challenge. Our team uses advanced UAV drone technology to perform detailed roof inspections without the need for scaffolding or physical access. We inspect for shingles or tiles displaced by high winds, water damage, debris strikes, and any signs of structural weakness. No matter how tall or complex your roof is, we ensure a thorough assessment, giving you peace of mind that any damage is identified and addressed

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Inspections: Ensuring a Healthy Environment

Post-hurricane moisture can lead to deteriorating indoor air quality (IAQ), particularly with the development of mold or mildew. Our IAQ inspections test for airborne contaminants that may pose health risks, especially to those with respiratory conditions. We measure levels of humidity, particulate matter, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to determine whether your indoor environment is safe. If problems are identified, we provide recommendations for improving air quality, ensuring your property is a healthy place for occupants.

Psychometric Readings: Detailed Climate Control Measurements

Moisture levels in your building can affect more than just air quality—they can also compromise the structural integrity of your property. Our psychometric readings measure critical factors such as dew point, relative humidity, and grains per pound, all of which help determine how much moisture your building is holding. This data allows us to predict areas at risk for mold growth and condensation, helping you take preventive action before more serious issues arise.
