Abstract:
Pinpointing where water or air has leaked into an exterior wall - and why - are critical diagnostic steps to take before beginning remedial repairs. Summarises a report which describes three onsite exterior wall monitoring protocols for determining the occurrence and cause of air leakage, condensation and rain and melt water penetration. Successful diagnostics can identify a problem and give a fix more of a chance of succeeding than treating symptoms alone.
