The Conquistador on S.E. Belmont Street in Portland.
|
There is water showing up at the top of the lower windows. So holes are cut in the drywall in the ceiling to trace back the water trail.
|
And upstairs, more holes are cut below those windows to confirm the suspicion that the 2nd story windows are the point of entry by which the…
|
…water infiltration is accessing the tops of the ground-floor windows. And indeed, confirmed it was.
|
No siding to remove here. The solution is actually fairly simple on this one. Provide & install “Sill-Pans” below the top-floor windows to reroute the water back out to the exterior if the sealant fails.
|
So the first Vinyl Window is removed from the masonry rough-opening.
|
Conan goes about cleaning the excess sealants from both the windows and the rough-openings…
|
…while Tim Afonin goes about field-fabricating several aluminum sill-pans.
|
Another mystery solved and another problem resolved.
