Defect / Water Leak Remediation

One of the many townhouse type condo structures lining the Columbia River channel just off of North Marine Drive.

Just one of the projects we’ve conducted on these structures
In this neighborhood. Tim Afonin is shown here setting the anchor for his fall-protection rope. Can you see him? The photo will enlarge if you click on it.

After the first day’s removal of the siding, the exposed exterior wall is temporarily covered for the night. It didn’t take long to find the cause of the leaks.

Top photo shows the moisture barrier overlapping the bottom nailing-fin…oops. Looks like flashing over the header-trim until the siding is removed…oops again.

And so it goes.

The fruit of someone’s labor is exposed.

In all seriousness, we do not mean to come off as cavalier regarding our client’s unforeseen financial hit.

We are very conflicted about making our living off the misfortune of others.

Although we still find significant satisfaction in the proper application of our expertise and skill…

…it’s not really like upgrading windows or installing a new front door, because we know our clients would have preferred to avoid this expense.
