Defect / Water Leak Remediation

Another contemporary design with the flat roofs and the infamous vertical tongue-in-groove cedar siding.

This one nestled away in Vancouver Washington.

The initial scope of this living room project involved replacement of three rather large “failed” direct-glaze insulated glass units.

But once the work began, it wasn’t long before rot was discovered in the window-sills and jambs, which lead…

…to discovering rotten structural components in the wall cavities below.

It’s always difficult to say how long this water intrusion has been going on, but the damage extended all the way down the living…

…room exterior wall, on down into the basement wall below it. So the job somewhat morphed into a more…

…extensive project that necessitated our erecting tarps and shifting gears into rebuilding exterior walls mode.

This probably isn’t the only place on this structure with hidden damage…but for now, this area is better than new.
