Selective Destructive Testing:

Investigation via selective brick removal established the elevation of the weeping point of the parapet membrane and implications to the perimeter flashing replacement. The removal of the sealant above the parapet counter flashing exhibited trapped moisture in the wall. Moisture meter testing down the brick face of the parapet wall indicated increasing moisture levels moving down the wall (the highest reading being just above the sealed flashing). Based on this finding the existing weep location was corrected.

Hygrothermal Modeling and Analysis: The Design-Build Team utilized Hygrothermal Modeling and Analysis augmented by material testing of the existing envelope. The findings of these results informed the basis of design for the most energy efficient building envelope possible.
