Know before you budget

Know the wall before you sign

Commercial property in Sandy Springs changes hands, refinances and gets repositioned often, and the envelope is one of the hardest systems to judge from the parking lot. A facade can look clean and still hide wet sheathing behind EIFS joints or under a window sill.

Our inspections focus on where water actually gets in. We walk every elevation, note cracks, failed sealant, missing flashing and impact damage, and take moisture readings at window perimeters, terminations, parapets and roof-to-wall transitions. Where the client needs more certainty, we water test a suspect detail until it either leaks or proves sound, and where readings are high we can open a small test area to see the substrate.

You get a written report organized by elevation, with photos, reading locations and a plain description of what we found. We separate active water intrusion from maintenance items and cosmetic wear, so a buyer, lender, asset manager or board can put realistic repair priorities and budgets behind the findings.

Envelope inspections in Sandy Springs

Every survey follows the same idea: test where water gets in, record what we find, and explain it in plain language.

Moisture probe surveys

Probe readings at high-risk locations across each elevation, recorded by location; each hole is sealed afterward.

Readings, not guesses

Water testing

Controlled water applied to a window, storefront, joint or flashing confirms whether that detail is the leak path before anything is opened.

Leak source confirmed

Due diligence surveys

Condition of the stucco or EIFS envelope documented for buyers and lenders before an acquisition or refinance closes.

Before you commit

Reserve study support

Condition findings by elevation that help condo and HOA boards and their reserve specialists plan envelope work over time.

Real numbers for boards

System identification

We confirm whether the wall is hard coat stucco, barrier EIFS or drainable EIFS, because that decides how it is repaired.

Know what you have

Pre-repair baselines

A documented baseline before a repair, recoat or sealant program is scoped, so the scope is built from evidence.

Scope from evidence

Which survey?

Choosing the right level of testing

Not every building needs the same depth. A visual survey can spot failed sealant, open parapet caps, missing flashing and cladding run below grade, but it can’t tell you whether the sheathing is wet. Probing answers that. Water testing goes one step further and proves which detail is letting water in.

For an acquisition, a refinance or a reserve study, a probe survey across representative areas of every elevation is usually the right level. If a tenant has reported a leak in one location, a focused survey of that area may be enough. We recommend the level that fits your decision and quote it in writing before we start.

Typical survey scopes
Survey	Best for	You get
Visual survey	Routine check, budgeting	Details to watch
Focused probing	One reported leak or stain	Extent of damage
Building-wide probing	Due diligence, reserves	Moisture map by elevation
Water testing	Leak with unclear source	Leak path confirmed

Our process

How an envelope survey works

We coordinate access, tenant notice and any lift or ladder work with you before the survey day.

Walk & identify

We walk every elevation, identify the stucco or EIFS system, and note sealant, flashing, parapets, penetrations and clearance at the base.

System identified
Risk areas marked
Visible defects photographed

Probe & test

Probe holes go in at the marked locations and readings are recorded. Where needed, we water test a detail to confirm the leak path.

Readings by location
Holes sealed afterward
Water tests where needed

Report & review

You get a written report with readings, photos and findings by elevation, and we review it with you, your board or your lender’s consultant.

Questions & answers

Commercial stucco & EIFS inspection FAQ

What buyers, boards and managers in Sandy Springs ask before ordering an envelope survey.

Can you inspect a Sandy Springs property during a purchase due diligence period?

Yes. Tell us the deadline when you call. We schedule the survey with the seller’s property manager, and the report is written so your lender and team can use it.

Do you inspect occupied condominium buildings?

Yes. Most readings are taken from the exterior. If unit access is needed to check a reported leak, we coordinate it with the board or manager and give residents notice.

What is the difference between a visual survey and moisture testing?

A visual survey records cracks, sealant, flashing and damage you can see. Moisture testing measures what is happening in the wall behind those details, which is where most of the repair cost is hidden.

Does the inspection damage the facade?

Probe readings leave small holes that we seal the same day. If a test opening is needed to confirm substrate condition, we agree on the location with you first and close it up afterward.

Can you inspect upper floors on a mid-rise near Perimeter Center?

Yes. We plan access for the elevations that matter, which may mean a lift or suspended access, and coordinate with building management on staging and timing.
