At Fort Carson, a crucial U.S. Army post in Colorado, maintaining building integrity is essential to support its multiple military divisions and units. Persistent water intrusion and mold concerns in various buildings stemmed from design flaws in weatherproofing, particularly around fascia and soffits. To address these issues, ETC conducted an in-depth investigation across the affected structures.

Our team assessed the exterior and interior conditions of each building, focusing on areas prone to water penetration due to faulty weatherproofing. We identified specific points of water intrusion, documented the condition of building materials, and collected mold samples to gauge the extent of mold presence. Based on these findings, ETC developed a detailed report with recommended remediation strategies, tailored to resolve water intrusion and prevent future mold risks. This approach provided Fort Carson with clear, actionable steps to protect the structural health and operational readiness of its facilities.

ETC’s assignment at Fort Carson involved a detailed investigation of mold and water intrusion concerns across three key buildings. The scope included:

• Evaluating the exterior and interior of each building, with a focus on weatherproofing elements such as fascia and soffits.
• Observing current building conditions to identify specific points of water intrusion.
• Conducting mold sampling in multiple areas to assess the extent of mold presence.
• Compiling a report that documented observations, building conditions, and identified water-related issues, along with recommended remediation methods.

This structured approach provided Fort Carson with clear insights and actionable solutions to address water intrusion and mold risks in critical buildings, helping to safeguard structural integrity and ensure a safer environment for personnel.
