Leak Emergency?
Challenge
Rittenhouse Hill apartments are located in Philadelphia’s East Falls neighborhood. The complex boasts scenic views, green living, and a multitude of amenities. Each unit is appointed with high-end finishes, too.
However, even with its modern interior, the exterior building envelope continuously battles the aging process—signs of which can be hard to detect on the surface, until an issue arises.
And that is exactly what happened. When residents reported leaks, building management sprang into action and called ProXpress.
Our technicians met with on-site management, where it was determined that through-wall flashing repairs were necessary in two units.
Solution
Work commenced as follows:
- Technicians removed three courses of brick,
cleaned debris from wall cavity, and removed
existing flashing in its entirety - A new sheet membrane and flashing was installed
across lintel and back up the wall using a
termination bar - End dams were installed to divert water to
outside the cavity wall - A metal drip edge was installed to protrude out
and a new vent-style weep system was installed - New brick was installed to closely match existing
Following completion of work, the ProXpress team provided a Service Record containing photo documentation of all procedures performed. It also detailed additional, compromised areas in need of future monitoring or repairs.
Work Performed
