INSPECTION SERVICES

Independent evaluations performed prior to property purchase or investment to verify system conditions, identify risks, and project capital needs. Reports include documented deficiencies, cost estimates, and compliance findings; giving owners and investors the clarity to make informed, strategic acquisition decisions. 

Property Condition Assessments (PCA) deliver a complete evaluation of building systems; structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and site. Reports identify deficiencies, estimate remaining service life, and outline future capital needs to help owners and investors make informed, cost-effective decisions. 

Comprehensive inspections of roofing, façade, waterproofing, and site systems that document existing conditions, evaluate system integrity, and estimate remaining service life. Each report provides data-driven insight to guide maintenance planning, capital forecasting, and long-term performance optimization. 

Regular semi-annual or annual inspections identify early signs of deterioration, membrane wear, sealant failure, or drainage issues before they develop into costly problems. Rubicon provides clear, prioritized recommendations and timelines to help clients proactively manage maintenance and plan capital budgets effectively. 

Detailed investigations to identify the source and extent of active leaks within roofing, façade, and waterproofing systems. Methods may include controlled water testing, interior tracing, and selective destructive examination to isolate points of failure. Findings are documented with photographic evidence, probable cause analysis, and recommendations for repair or remediation. 

Forensic inspections identify the cause and extent of building envelope failures across roofing, façade, waterproofing, and pavement systems. Each investigation combines field testing and technical analysis to pinpoint the source of defects and deliver clear, evidence-based findings for repair, warranty, or insurance resolution. 

Our Registered Roof Observers (RROs) and Registered Exterior Wall Observers (REWOs) provide independent on-site inspections to verify construction quality, material compliance, and field progress. By identifying issues early and maintaining clear communication between owners, contractors, and design teams, we help ensure consistent workmanship, adherence to specifications, and long-term system performance. 

Coating and waterproofing system inspections verify the condition and performance of protective membranes used on roofs, façades, decks, and below-grade structures. Each evaluation confirms coverage, adhesion, and detailing, providing owners with clear recommendations to maintain watertight integrity and extend service life. 

Pavement and site infrastructure inspections evaluate asphalt, concrete, curbs, and drainage systems to identify cracking, settlement, or ponding that may impact performance or safety. Each inspection documents existing conditions, prioritizes repair needs, and provides maintenance recommendations to help owners extend pavement service life and maintain safe, functional exterior environments. 

Infrared moisture surveys use high-resolution thermal imaging to detect trapped moisture, insulation loss, and hidden leaks within roofing and wall assemblies. This non-destructive method allows large areas to be assessed efficiently, providing clear visual data to verify repairs, identify active leaks, and support proactive maintenance planning for long-term system performance. 

Warranty and end-of-service-life inspections document current system conditions and identify emerging issues before warranties expire or systems reach the end of their useful life. Each inspection verifies performance, notes areas of concern, and provides maintenance or replacement recommendations to help owners protect warranty coverage, minimize disputes, and plan for future capital improvements. 

Our Haag Certified Inspectors provide rapid-response evaluations following severe weather events. We document conditions, identify storm-related damage, and distinguish it from normal aging or installation issues. Detailed, unbiased reports support insurance claims, guide repairs, and help owners make informed recovery decisions.
