What Are Insulation & Waterproofing Estimating Services?
Insulation and waterproofing estimating services cover the thermal and moisture protection of the building. Our estimators measure walls, attics, roofs and slabs for insulation by type and R-value, and foundation walls, decks and plazas for waterproofing systems.
We include batt and blown insulation, closed- and open-cell spray foam, rigid board, air and weather barriers, below-grade waterproofing, dampproofing, traffic coatings, joint sealants and firestopping.

Building Envelopes in Alabama
Alabama’s climate puts heavy demands on the envelope:
- Humidity: air and vapor control strategies matter in a hot, humid climate to prevent condensation and mold.
- Rainfall: heavy rainfall makes weather barriers, flashing and sealants critical.
- Coastal exposure: wind-driven rain on the Gulf Coast requires robust barriers and waterproofing.
- Energy codes: insulation levels must meet the energy code adopted by the local jurisdiction.
