Smart repairs begin with the right information.
When exterior issues appear such as cracking stucco, staining, or shifting materials, the full scope of the problem is rarely visible from the outside.
Destructive testing allows us to look beneath the surface and understand what is truly happening. At Spyder Construction, we work with structural engineers to perform focused, minimally invasive investigations that identify the true source and extent of building envelope concerns.
On a recent multifamily project, our team removed targeted areas of stucco and brick to trace moisture intrusion. This uncovered significant hidden damage, including wood rot that extended from upper floors to the foundation due to inadequate flashing and termination points.
The findings gave the engineer the clarity needed to design long term repairs and provided ownership with accurate information to plan the next phase of work. Once the investigation was complete, our team restored all areas to their original condition.
When long term solutions matter, destructive testing delivers the insight needed to take ownership of the problem and move forward with confidence.
