Under tile waterproofing | Anti-fracture membranes | Deck tile / stone installations
EXTERIOR SLATE STAIRS WATER INTRUSION
DEFECTIVE SLATE STAIRWAY UNDER TILE WATERPROOFING
- Conducting a limited inspection to evaluate exterior slate stairway / stairs water intrusion and under tile waterproofing membrane leaks
- We identifying the leak sources and providing repair recommendations
WATER INTRUSION CREATING INTERIOR MOLD GROWTH
CONTAINMENT BARRIERS ARE CONSTRUCTED TO ISOLATE THE SPREAD OF MOLD SPORES
ECO-FRIENDLY MOLD REMOVAL | ON-SITE MOLD TESTING RESULTS
- Adhering to the IICRC S520 protocols,
- Immediate mold contaminated drywall removal necessary to prevent mold growth on structural wood framing
- Immediate drying necessary to Structural wood framing to prevent mold growth
- The source of water intrusion must be identified and eliminated to prevent mold contamination from recurring.
INVASIVE INVESTIGATION INCLUDED STAIRS SLATE REMOVAL
DEFECTIVE UNDER TILE WATERPROOFING CREATING LEAKS TO SLATE STAIRWAY
- Plywood substrate stairway / stair steps water saturation damage requires removing and replacing
- Stairway water intrusion invasive investigation included removal of slate tile installation
- Roofing underlayment felt installed as under tile waterproofing is substandard under tile waterproofing / decks provides correct example of stairway waterproofing
WOOD MOISTURE CONTENT IN ACCESS OF 20% REQUIRED FOR FUNGUS
STAIRWAY LEAKS CREATING DRY ROT FUNGUS AND MOLD CONDITIONS
- Defective stairway under tile waterproofing creating structural dry rot and mold conditions
- Exterior stairway / stairs structural wood moisture content in access of 20% is required for active dry rot fungus
- Immediate drying to structural wood framing necessary to contain growth of active dry rot fungus
DEFECTIVE FLASHINGS CREATING STAIRWAY WATER INTRUSION
DECK WATERPROOFING | FLASHINGS MENU SECTION PROVIDES CORRECT FLASHING INSTALLATION EXAMPLE
UNDER TILE WATERPROOFING LEAKS SATURATING PLYWOOD CREATING SUBSTRATE DELAMINATION TO EXTERIOR SLATE STAIRWAY
- Wire mesh reinforcement can not be applied directly over under tile waterproofing
- Wire mesh sharp edges will cut into waterproofing membrane creating leaks
- Drainage panels are applied directly over waterproofing membrane creating a protection barrier
CONTAINMENT BARRIERS ISOLATING MOLD SPORES
ADHERING TO THE IICRC PROTOCOLS CONTAINMENT BARRIERS ISOLATING MOLD SPORES FROM SPREADING TO OFFICE LOCATED AT REAR ENTRY
- Immediate on site low cost mold testing results
- Safe eco-friendly mold removal
- IICRC certification mold removal technician
SURFACE PROTECTION PRIOR TO STAIRWAY WATERPROOFING
SURFACE PROTECTION NECESSARY DURING INVASIVE INVESTIGATIONS
- Surface protection required during mold removal and water damage restoration process
- Surface protection prevents secondary damage during restoration
STAIRWAY PLYWOOD SUBSTRATE REPLACEMENT
WATER SATURATED PLYWOOD SUBSTRATE DELAMINATION REQUIRING REPLACEMENT
- Replacing stairway / stair substrate with structural-1 exterior glue plywood
- Substrate adhesion necessary for under tile waterproofing
