Our Methodology
Our Inspection Methodology
A structured, evidence-based process designed to identify risk, preserve property, and maintain SB-721 compliance — without unnecessary intrusive testing.
Our methodology is built around a simple principle: document conditions thoroughly, classify findings clearly, and recommend further investigation only when the evidence supports it. The steps below are followed on every inspection.
Step 01
Visual Assessment
Comprehensive on-site evaluation of accessible Exterior Elevated Elements — balconies, decks, walkways, stairways, railings, waterproofing systems, and visible structural components — documented with date-stamped photo evidence.
Step 02
Moisture Mapping
Professional moisture detection technology is applied at critical interfaces and elevated-risk areas to identify concealed moisture conditions that warrant additional attention.
Step 03
Condition Classification
Every component is rated using a clear four-class system (Serviceable, Monitor, Repair Recommended, Immediate Evaluation Required) so findings are defensible and easy to act on.
Step 04
Risk Exposure Analysis
Findings are evaluated for life-safety exposure, deferred-maintenance trajectory, and likelihood of progression, providing owners with a documented basis for prioritization.
Step 05
Budget Planning
Classified findings translate directly into prioritized repair planning, helping owners forecast capital needs and align maintenance budgets with documented condition data.
Step 06
Escalation Matrix
Exploratory openings, contractor evaluation, or licensed engineering consultation are recommended only when documented conditions support further investigation.
Step 07
Compliance Reporting
Final reports are organized for SB-721 compliance, with photo evidence, condition classifications, recommendations, and clear next-step guidance suitable for owners, managers, and insurers.
