How Guardian Inspect Does It
Our approach to exterior inspections is based on three principles: vigilance, expertise, and precision. We inspect every aspect of your property’s exterior components and materials, using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment. Your commercial property’s exterior is composed of various components and materials that work together to protect your property from the weather, pests, and intruders. Each component has a specific function and requires regular inspection and maintenance to ensure its optimal performance and condition. Here are some of the main components we inspect and why they are important:
Building
Envelope
We inspect the building envelope’s integrity, including insulation, exterior cladding, sealants, and weatherproofing systems, to prevent moisture and air infiltration that may cause damage or inefficiency.
Roofing
Systems
We examine roofing materials, structural elements, flashing, gutters, and downspouts for any issues like leaks, damage, or wear and tear that may affect your property’s protection or appearance.
Siding, Windows & Doors
We evaluate siding materials, windows, and doors for functionality, weatherproofing, and security features to ensure your property’s energy efficiency and aesthetics.
Why You Need Exterior Inspections
Exterior inspections are essential for commercial property maintenance and safety. They help you identify and address issues that may affect your property’s value and safety before they become bigger problems. By taking proactive steps to prevent damage, deterioration, or code violations, you can save money, time, and hassle in the long run.
Exterior inspections also give you a complete picture of your property’s exterior condition and performance. You can use this information to make informed decisions, plan your budget, and implement preventive measures. Guardian Inspect understands that your property’s exterior is not just a cosmetic concern but a vital part of your property’s overall health and longevity.
Building Envelope
The building envelope is the protective barrier that separates the interior and exterior environments of your property. It consists of insulation, exterior cladding, sealants, and weatherproofing systems that prevent moisture, air infiltration, and temperature fluctuations from affecting your property. A well-sealed and weather-resistant building envelope can:
- Prevent moisture intrusion that causes mold growth, rotting, corrosion, or structural damage.
- Reduce energy loss that causes increases in your heating and cooling costs and carbon footprint.
- Enhance indoor comfort and air quality by maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels.
We inspect the building envelope’s integrity by checking for any signs of damage, deterioration, or inefficiency. We use thermal imaging technology to detect any hidden problems or inefficiencies in your property’s exterior. We can identify moisture intrusion, air leaks, insulation gaps, electrical hotspots, and more.
Roofing Systems
The roofing system is the critical component that covers the top of your property and protects it from the elements. It includes roofing materials, structural elements, flashing, gutters, and downspouts that shield your property from rain, snow, wind, hail, sunlight, and debris. A functional and durable roofing system can:
- Prevent roof leaks that cause water damage to your property’s interior or exterior components.
- Prevent damage or wear and tear that compromise your property’s protection or appearance.
- Extend the lifespan of your roofing materials by preventing premature aging or degradation.
- Improve energy efficiency by reflecting or absorbing heat depending on the climate.
We inspect the roofing system’s condition and functionality by examining every aspect of your roof. We use drone technology to access hard-to-reach areas of your roof. We can capture high-resolution images and videos of your roof, chimney, vents, skylights, solar panels, and more.
Siding, Windows, and Doors
The siding, windows, and doors play a vital role in energy efficiency and security. They are the outermost layer of your property’s exterior that provide insulation, ventilation, natural light, and access control. Well-maintained siding, windows, and doors can:
- Prevent damage or wear that will affect your property’s curb appeal or structural integrity.
- Ensure functionality and weatherproofing that may prevent air or water infiltration or energy loss.
- Enhance security features that are essential to preventing intruders or unauthorized access.
We inspect these components to ensure they are in optimal condition. We check siding materials for signs of damage or wear. We evaluate windows and doors for functionality and weatherproofing. We assess security features such as locks, sensors, alarms, cameras, etc.
Detecting Structural and Material Issues
Although Guardian Inspect is not a licensed structural engineer, we are skilled at detecting the visual signs that point to deeper concerns. Our inspections assess the overall condition of structural elements, such as foundations and load-bearing components, to ensure they are free from visible defects or deterioration. If any defects are found, we will help you locate and schedule an appointment with a local, licensed structural engineer.
