Defect / Water Leak Remediation

Corbett area condos in southwest Portland.

The main-floor living room center bay picture window has water showing up at the top.

Any guesses where the water is originating from. If you’ve been reviewing many of our projects here, you should…

…have a pretty good idea where it’s coming from and what’s causing it.

As you can see, it was raining the day I arrived to perform our preliminary inspection.

Journeymen technicians Russell Baldwin & David Castro go about applying their craft.

Once again, we see the moisture barrier overlapping the bottom of the upper window. Are we seeing a pattern here…

The only thing keeping water from getting to the top…and then in behind that moisture barrier is this caulking-seam between the window sill and the wood trim below it. Do you see the crack in the caulking seam..

This is the back of the Hardiplank panel we removed from between the two window assemblies. See the mold along the left edge…

The finished product all buttoned back up…ready for some paint to cover the fresh caulking seams.
