First, Essel performed a moisture survey of the suspected areas to find areas with high moisture readings.  Those areas were then isolated and a further investigation was performed.  The investigation showed that a construction defect existed within the building that allowed the moisture to seep in from the exterior walls & roof. Essel is now working with the building owners & contractor to determine the best practices in correcting the problem and sealing up the building to prevent further damage from moisture. Stay tuned for more updates on this project!
