Facade Evaluation

The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) employs façade evaluation specialists who inspect facades for concerning signs. Facades are an important component of buildings, both functionally and aesthetically. Our experts evaluate the conditions of facades, advising our clients on how to address deterioration and issues that may compromise the functionality of the façade.
What are Facades and What Do They Do?
A façade is a building’s exterior wall or face. A façade may have various components, such as doors and windows, and it may be comprised of a variety of materials, including:
  • Brick
  • Concrete
  • Glass
  • Metal
Facades are especially important because they serve as a buffer between a building’s interior and harsh elements, such as rain, aggressive winds, and extreme heat. Outside of their functionality, facades often serve as the public’s first impression of an establishment, so it’s beneficial for businesses to maintain well-kept facades.
Our Façade Evaluation Services
Our façade inspection experts are well-educated, experienced, and highly trained in engineering practices and principles. They’re well equipped to analyze building structures and appearances, enabling them to thoroughly evaluate facades using various inspection methods, including, but not limited to:
  • Visual inspection
  • Infrared imaging
  • Dielectric
Our façade inspections and evaluations address signs of deterioration caused by the following:
  • Water damage, including mold and stains
  • Structural issues, such as wood rot, foundational issues, and unevenness
  • Physical damage, including corrosion and cracking
Why are Façade Evaluations Important?
Façade evaluations are critical when maintaining the appearance, functionality, and safety of a building’s exterior. The information gathered in an assessment can help businesses improve their maintenance strategies allowing them to develop consistent maintenance schedules minimizing the risk of building deterioration and damage. Consistent façade evaluations are critical in major cities, such as Chicago and New York because there are city ordinances businesses must comply with to maintain their certification of occupancy.
