Testing to national standards 

                                                                                                            We provide field based spray and air infiltration testing in accordance with ASTM standards. Conforming to these standards is critical in achieving accurate, unbiased and credible results. We use the finest available testing equipment. Detailed reports are provided and can be used as evidence in a mediation or a court of law. 


There are a number of firms stating that they are experts but their testing does not conform to current AAMA and ASTM standards. The credibilty of an invalid test is marginal at best and could be detrimental to your case.  



                  Various Testing Equipment


Current Tests Conducted / Referenced:   ASTM E283, ASTM E331,          ASTM E547,  ASTM E783,  ASTM E1105,  ASTM E2112,  ASTM E2128,            AAMA 501.2-03, AAMA 502-08, AAMA 502-02, AAMA 503-03, AAMA 511-08


Witness Testing

We are available to observe testing by others to ensure that equipment and procedures are in accordance with specific and current AAMA and ASTM standards. Reports typically include pictures, details and references to relevant sections of the applicable standards.

Destructive Testing

Destructive testing is typically required in determining the specific source of leaks. We typically remove limited sections of interior wall covering to observe results of testing. If testing reveals water intrusion, we can also provide removal of exterior wall materials to determine the specific source of leakage.

Commercial & Quality Assurance Testing

Commercial testing of storefronts and curtain walls is available both during and after project completion. Quality assurance testing can be performed as noted in Section 8 of plan specifications. It can also be conducted voluntarily on newly installed products prior to sale or lease.

Existing Unit Inspections

Prior to the transfer of Real Estate, we check existing units to observe and document any visual & operational defects as well as missing weatherstipping or hardware.
