WINDOW WEEP-HOLE FAILURE & HIDDEN WATER DAMAGE
Water Intrusion Investigation | Edmonton
Water was entering the wall and interior of this home because of a drainage and weep-hole problem at the window. Investigation exposed extensive concealed deterioration extending from the exterior wall assembly toward the interior.
This field case demonstrates why controlled water testing and building-envelope investigation are important before exterior repairs are completed. The visible exterior finish may not reveal the full extent or source of concealed moisture damage.

HIDDEN WATER DAMAGE BEHIND EIFS
Concealed Moisture Damage Behind EIFS | Edmonton
This field video shows concealed water damage discovered behind an EIFS exterior wall assembly after moisture had affected the wall over an extended period. Conditions like this can remain hidden because the visible exterior finish does not necessarily show the extent of deterioration behind the cladding.
When moisture intrusion is suspected, the source and affected components should be investigated before the exterior is simply patched or refinished. Proper flashing, drainage and moisture management are critical parts of a durable exterior wall assembly.
