Defect / Water Leak Remediation

On the backside of this home in N.W. Portland, is a daylight basement.

Several years ago, he had his windows replaced with new Vinyl Windows. But as you can see in the photos above (click to enlarge), he is getting water dripping in at the top of several of them.

Initially, it looked hopeful, given that there was flashing over the brick-moulding. But alas, it was not properly installed. Nor was the moisture-barrier at the bottom of the windows properly installed.

And so it was that our client determined that these back facing walls with the new windows needed a complete redo.

Which is what we did, because we do redos.

Some of the sheathing was water-damaged, as suspected,…

…so that was dealt with. The windows were removed so the rough-openings could be properly covered and sealed with self-adhesive flashing membrane.

Then re-installed and properly tied into the new moisture-barrier.

After which, we resided the wall.

The adjoining bump-out wall with the six vinyl picture windows received the exact same redo.
