Defect / Water Leak Remediation

Linns Mill area on Mompano Reservoir in Clackamas County.

There’s nothing quite like paying a handyman thousands of dollars to make a leak worse than what it was before he did the work. Water is “still” showing up at the top of the lower windows.

Please note the metal flashing sitting on top of the felt moisture-barrier that is coming down from above.

When the wood trim is taken off, we discover the felt paper behind the trim sitting atop the felt-paper coming down from above. Are we seeing a pattern here?

We take the exterior trim boards off at the bottom of the 2nd story windows and we find the moisture-barrier sitting over the top of the window assembly nailing-fins coming down from above.

Not too much mystery surrounding exactly how the water is getting into this wall. At least he was consistent, was he not?

Unfortunately, the water damage has translated into the need for some structural component repairs near the bottom of the wall.

After which the process of the wall being buttoned back up is begun.

Our premier technicians Bruce Hinkenlooper & Tim Afonin (behind the camera) zeroing in on putting our client’s concerns to rest.

The finished product. Time to call a painter. Buyer beware the Handyman services selling their price.
