FOUNDATION LEAKS CREATING WATER INTRUSION
FOUNDATION LEAKS CREATING INTERIOR WATER | MOLD DAMAGE
- Invasive investigation required to identify the source of leak
- Stucco removal requires diamond blade saw-cut of stucco above sill plate and concrete foundation
- CAUTION: Some waterproofing contractors remove stucco by breaking with hammer impacts
- Breaking stucco with a hammer impact creates fractures in the stucco and weakens the stucco wall
- Fractures in stucco wall can create additional leaks and moisture issues
- Cutting stucco with diamond blade saw-cut creates no fractures due to hammer impacts
WATER INTRUSION LOCATED AT FOUNDATION AND SILL PLATE CONNECTION
EXTERIOR CONCRETE WALKWAY ELEVATION FLUSH WITH INTERIOR FLOOR
- CONSTRUCTION DEFECT: Concrete contractors apply exterior walkway concrete flush with interior floor creating water intrusion
- Concrete removal requires diamond blade saw-cut of concrete walkway at foundation location
MINIMUM 2" DROP IN EXTERIOR WALKWAY ELEVATION REQUIRED
CARELESS CONCRETE CONTRACTORS CREATED THE CONDITIONS CAUSING INTERIOR WATER DAMAGE
- Careless stucco contractors attempt to slip sections of stucco paper under existing without installing blocking providing support at the stucco saw-cut connection
- Structural blocking is required when structure is without shear wall plywood under stucco
- Counter flashing installed 2" under existing stucco paper for correct stucco moisture drainage
- Structural blocking also provides support and bonding surface for waterproofing self adhering sheet membrane
- Structural blocking also provides support and nailer for weep screed installation and stucco wire mesh installation
FOUNDATION WATERPROOFING COMPONENTS
FLUID-APPLIED POLYURETHANE WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE APPLICATION TO FOUNDATION
- French drains positioned at footing base to prevent water build-up at foundation / footing connection
- Some waterproofing contractors position french drain on the footing raising the water table elevation necessary for drainage
- Lowering the french drain allows drainage water to percolate into french drain weep holes below the foundation / footing elevation
- Lowers the water table elevation for water discharge below the top of footing elevation
SHEET MEMBRANE APPLIED OVER FOUNDATION AND SILL PLATE
SELF ADHERING SHEET MEMBRANE CREATES A MONOLITHIC WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE OVER FOUNDATION AND SILL PLATE
- Counter flashing inserted 2" under stucco provides a bonding surface for self adhering sheet waterproofing membrane
- Fluid-applied polyurethane waterproofing applied to foundation section
MONOLITHIC MEMBRANE OVER FOUNDATION AND SILL PLATE
SHEET MEMBRANE PREVENTS WATER INTRUSION AT FOUNDATION | SILL PLATE LOCATION
