| Evaluating and repairing wall leaks remains an art. Many of the papers, particularly the case studies, present authors' varying approaches to diagnosing and repairing leaks. As an art, there is much room for the creative application of proven techniques, but there is usually no one "right" way to address a leakage problem. It is hoped that this Symposium will illustrate how many skilled technical professionals have attempted to prevent, diagnose, and correct wall leakage.
Foreword
The Symposium on Water Leakage Through Building Facades was held 17 March 1996 in Orlando, Florida. ASTM Committee E6 on Performance of Buildings sponsored the symposium. Robert J. Kudder, Raths, Raths & Johnson, Inc., and Jeffrey L. Erdly, Masonry Preservation Services, Inc., presided as symposium cochairmen and are editors of this
publication.
