What Portland Weather Does to Buildings

Rain, ice, heat and aging masonry all take a toll. Here is what Scott checks closely in Portland.

Steady Rain, Hidden Leaks

Most Portland rain falls October through May. Infrared thermal imaging finds wet insulation hidden behind finishes.

Unreinforced Masonry

The city lists 1,600+ known or suspected URM buildings. Scott flags visible concerns and advises when a seismic review fits.

Ice Storms and Heat Spikes

Ice storms load roofs and trees, and the 2021 heat dome hit 116°F. Rooftop HVAC age and capacity get a close look.

Moss and Clogged Roof Drains

Moss and fir needles clog scuppers and drains. Ponding on flat roofs shortens membrane life and invites leaks.

Property Exam Corp (Scott Harris) was polite, responsive and punctual. The detailed and attentive property inspection was excellent. I am very glad I had Scott on my side. It was the best money I could have spent: to REALLY know what I was looking at.

Excellent service. Extremely professional, flexible, and thorough, but most importantly knowledgeable. Scott absolutely knows what he's looking at, what to keep an eye out for, and knows his stuff. Definitely goes above and beyond. Received the report just a few hours after the inspection, and what extremely detailed. Can't recommend his services enough!

I worked with Scott on a couple of projects related to a roof and a garage door installation. Scott was professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and easy to schedule with. I really enjoyed working with him, and expect to work more with him in the future.
