Insulation Gap Survey in Richmond

Energy-loss thermal surveys find missing or compromised insulation in wall, ceiling and roof assemblies without removing finishes. The work is most valuable on older homes where insulation may have settled, on additions and conversions where insulation continuity is uncertain, and on commercial buildings where energy performance suddenly degraded. We deliver a thermal map plus a written summary identifying each anomaly's likely cause — moisture, missing insulation, thermal bridge, or air leakage — so the corrective work can be properly scoped.

What moisture analysis typically finds in Richmond

Crawl-space moisture in delta-soil construction, envelope condensation in tightly built modern homes, attic moisture in cathedral-ceiling designs common to Richmond.

Richmond's built environment — low-rise wood-frame condos, single-family on small lots, City Centre high-rises, agricultural in east Richmond — shapes how insulation gap survey is delivered locally. Richmond sits at 1 m above sea level on the Fraser delta. The high water table makes slab leaks and basement seepage common, and the dyke-protected drainage system means stormwater issues quickly become structural ones. Construction is largely 1980s–2000s with growing concrete-tower density in City Centre.
