Acuity Engineers, Inc. is a consulting firm performing Stucco Investigations for owners, tenants, property management firms, insurance companies and lenders. Our Stucco inspections identify latent problem areas and potentially elevated moisture levels that may lead to mold formation and deterioration.

Acuity’s Moisture Surveys are performed from the interior of the property so as not to breach the drainage plane behind the stucco. Moisture readings are either taken with a Protimeter or Delmhorst Moisture Meter. They can be obtained at the wall surface, framing, within the wall/ceiling cavities, and at the exterior sheathing/concrete.

Weather permitting, Infrared Scans may also be performed by one of Acuity’s Certified Thermographers whereby “thermal anomalies” (NOT water!) can be identified, indicating potential moisture issues. A Video Scope Analysis may also be recommended as elevated moisture numbers do not necessarily translate into structural deterioration.

Acuity conducts a Roof Assessment and Attic Ventilation Analysis to determine whether or not they are contributing factors regarding moisture intrusion issues. Destructive stucco analysis may be necessary to determine building code compliance as well as window and door flashing methods. Acuity performs New Stucco Installation Assessments to ascertain if the drainage plane and flashings have been installed per building code and utilizing good workmanship.

Acuity is a leader in the field of Building Diagnostics and provides additional services such as Moisture Surveys, Indoor Air Quality Surveys, Microbial Assessments, Infrared Assessments, and Ultrasound Assessments.

Do not risk your investment due to inadequate inspections. Call the professionals at Acuity for a timely, accurate, and comprehensive assessment.
