PRIORITIZING BUILDING ENVELOPE MAINTENANCE TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF NATURAL DISASTERS

Prioritizing your building envelope maintenance plays an important role in minimizing the impact of natural disasters. And with the recent floods across BC, having your business or strata property inspected for structural damage is an important measure to take to ensure all is well.

Prepare Your Building Envelope for When Natural Disasters Happen

It seems to no longer be about if, but when a natural disaster will occur. From fires to floods to even the threat of earthquakes across the coastal region of BC. Natural disasters are happening more frequently, and being prepared is imperative.

Which is where your building envelope stability comes in. This is what separates the inside of your structure from the outside, with sub-systems enveloped within such as – heating, cooling and ventilating equipment, as well as plumbing and electrical systems.

Various factors can affect the performance of the building envelope overall, and ensuring it is built to keep out temperature extremes, moisture, high winds – and other such elements, will be your best defense against deterioration, decay, structural failure and costly repairs.

What Does Building Envelope Maintenance Oversee?

A complete building envelope includes such things as…

External Paint and Protective Wood Stain on Exposed Wood

The Roof and Overhangs

Residential Windows and Exterior Doors

Sealant, Cladding and Exhaust Ducts

The Foundation

Decks and Balconies

The Risk of Not Maintaining the Integrity of a Building Envelope

As mentioned in a previous blog…

“If a building envelope is not treated as a complete system, individual components can be easily compromised during targeting repairs. By ignoring one aspect of your building envelope, inevitably your put the entire structure in potential jeopardy, which is easily avoidable with complete system care.”
