Miscellaneous Repair

A commercial masonry building in Southeast Milwaukie.

A very common main entry with second story window configuration found in buildings of this ilk and use. A wood accent set between two aluminum storefront type assemblies.

Water showing up at the suspended ceiling and the drywall surround above the door.

An obvious potential culprit…a lack of metal flashing above the wooden header-trim above the door and sidelight assembly.

But more evidence above the suspended ceiling suggests that water is migrating down from the upper window assembly. Nothing a “sill-pan” wouldn’t likely resolve.

So we set up our pump-jacks…

…and Steve Hilt goes about lowering the harness ropes as required.

The glass is deglazed from the aluminum-frames and the window assembly is pulled from the rough-opening.

A sill pan is provided and installed, the aluminum window reinstalled and the glass is reglazed into the assembly.

Jared goes about applying the finishing touches with his caulking gun.
