Exterior Masonry & Caulking Repairs
Project: JANAF
Location: Norfolk Virginia
Completed: Currently in Construction as of January 2015
Job Description:
January of 2015 Pro Window Inc. began masonry and caulking repairs on JANAF Office Building, a six story steel frame building built around 1965. Last reports of any repairs on the building was caulking repairs over 17 years ago. Once a building investigation was completed, many damages had to be addressed. Around 1965 when the building was under construction, the constructors did not include a vertical expansion joint to allow the building to shift from settlement. JANAF was in fairly good condition for it’s age, by repairing minor damages now building management will save money on costly repairs in the future. Removing failed caulking, repairing cracks in the mortar joints, and creating a vertical expansion joint will now allow the building to shift without causing further damages to the building.

Numerous open penetrations in EIFS causing de-lamination of the EIFS
Gaps in roof cap allowing water to penetrate
Heavy biological stains throughout building
Solution:
This property first required a good thorough cleaning to remove biological contaminates before starting any waterproofing. Secondly all old joint sealants were removed and silicone bridge tape was installed over metal-to-metal and metal-to-EIFS joints to prevent major wind driven rain. Finally the EIFS system was repaired, penetrations sealed, and coated within an elastromeric coating to ensure a strong watertight barrier.
