Addressing Moisture Intrusion Issues in New Construction
Summary
A hotel proprietor in Lincoln, Neb., was looking for help to determine why his new property was experiencing a multitude of moisture intrusion problems and didn’t know what to do. Terracon was called in to perform a visual assessment, supplemented with an infrared (IR) survey of the building’s exterior. When it became obvious that substantial repairs were needed the client considered bringing litigation against the firms involved in the hotel’s construction. As a result of testing and subsequent findings, Terracon determined that the moisture problems were widespread across the entire facility and were not limited to specific locations. Terracon concluded and recommended that the full exterior façade be removed and replaced with a properly designed and constructed system with appropriate third-party oversight throughout the process.
