Masonry Moisture Surveys in North Vancouver

Brick, block and stone facades absorb and trap moisture, particularly on east- and west-facing elevations in Greater Vancouver's climate. Quantitative moisture surveys — using nuclear-density methods, MC sensors and IR — identify saturated assemblies before damage progresses. We deliver these for heritage buildings, mid-rise masonry and institutional facades where understanding water management is a long-term asset issue.
