Does your building have these problems?
- White
powder stains on the surface of the brick and block?
- Water
leaking out of the block?
- Mortar
joints missing mortar?
- Roof
has been repaired/Replaced and there are still leaks?
- Just
had the split block sealed and there are still leaking problems or the
problem got worse?
- Moldy
smells, mold on the surface of the walls and mouldings?
- Ceilings
are sagging?
- Bubbling
paint?
- Hardwood
floors cupping and warping?
- Water
leaking from outlets and switches on the outside walls?
So
now what can be done?
- We
can cut some test areas of the roof open to inspect the level of damage
using a thermal scan.
- We
can remove and dispose of/replace roof top decks and patios.
- We
can properly vent and flash the roof structure and repair/replace the
roofing.
- We
can properly vent, flash and cap the parapet walls.
- We
can install weep holes with wick ropes to help draw the moisture out of
the walls.
- We
can remove and replace moldy millwork, drywall, insulation and framing.
The plastic vapor barrier over the walls will not be installed again so
the walls do not trap moisture.
Have a healthy split block home with the proper venting, flashing and
sealing provided by D/R Services. It is possible to save these
buildings through using proper building science. Ventilating the walls,
roofs, parapets caps in a proper manner is a major part of the
solution. We have
