The building is designed with reinforced columns, beams, and floor slabs, and the property was built in the early 1960s to house 640 units in two 28-story towers. These towers are joined by a large common corridor that houses the building’s administration offices. A 6,800 square foot ground floor plaza was built underneath the towers and over the indoor garage and basement. We were contacted to evaluate the conditions, investigate the previous repair reports, and remedy the water infiltration problem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e46cdbe461c0a60cb4d2b26/1586550980167-Q9YW7U72IHUPCOUVA55Z/Masonry+Repair Exterior Wall Inspections Water Leak and Roof Inspections, Church in Hinsdale, a suburb of Chicago Over several decades, the winter’s freezing and thawing cycles have eroded the stone’s mortar joints and flashing. Water leaks have developed in many locations. Reviewed previous exterior wall repair reports, performed a condition survey, and developed a repair scope of work for the deteriorated masonry. The structure was built in 1885. The Church’s architectural style is a combination of Gothic and Tudor Revival. Over several decades, the winter’s freezing and thawing cycles have eroded the stone’s mortar joints and flashing. Water leaks have developed in many locations. US-BES investigated and identified the locations of water infiltration, developed a systemic method of repair and submitted a report for the owner’s records within a narrow timeline and limited budget. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e46cdbe461c0a60cb4d2b26/1586550911614-R34F87LCPGQMFEK3M8HY/Water+infiltration Exterior Wall Inspections Moisture Damage on facias and Soffits, Bungalow in Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago Inspected the deteriorated perimeter of the wooden facias and soffits for reports of water infiltration. Developed a detailed report identifying the areas of damages and submitted a repair scope of work. Years of water leakages and weathering had rotted the wood, and the paint was flaking off. This Oak Park octagonal bungalow was built in the 1920s adjacent to Chicago. The window shapes are semicircular with stained leaded glass. The exterior walls are yellowish brick masonry, it has decorative limestone details, and the roof has greenish color clay tiles. US-BES was hired to survey the current deteriorated conditions and provide the owner with a report of findings and repair recommendations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e46cdbe461c0a60cb4d2b26/1586550936429-B0RACR2PL1AG8H341UQX/Building+Evaluation Exterior Wall Inspections Water Leak Inspections of Exterior Walls, Office Building in Chicago Hired to inspect water leaks at the interior of the window heads on both the east and west elevations. Several other contractors had inspected the conditions and provided the Owner with assumptions on the causes of the infiltrations without evidence. The office building was built in 1908 in the style of Beaux-Arts. The structure has six stories with a basement. In 1926, eight stories were added, and the design resembled a ‘U’ shape configuration. There is a penthouse at the roof level that was added in 1939. US-BES performed several tests above each window head on the masonry. The source of the problem was identified. The exterior mortar joints and bricks had severely deteriorated from decades of winter freezing and thawing cycles. We submitted a report with findings and recommendations. The results of the findings were to replace one wythe of brick masonry between lintels and roof parapet’s coping stones. https://www.us-bes.com/water-leak-inspection daily 0.75 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e46cdbe461c0a60cb4d2b26/1586814172081-011M8JYWG3LCKV1HH8ST/Water+infiltration Exterior Wall Water Intrusion and Leak Testing Water infiltration issues developed in the cement blocks that severely deteriorated the masonry walls.

We provided corrective detailed drawings and aided in the repairs process to prevent further water infiltration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e46cdbe461c0a60cb4d2b26/1584283684322-DPHQYHCB21EF6Q4MWUUH/water%252Btest.jpg Exterior Wall Water Intrusion and Leak Testing Performed several water infiltration tests using a handheld nozzle on the brick masonry facade complying with the American Architectural Manufacturers Association tests (AAMA - 501.2-03-Field Check Water Hose Test). After discovering very fine hairline cracks in the mortar joints that were allowing water to penetrate the masonry and infiltrate the interior of the building, we developed a low cost and effective scope of work to repair the mortar joints and manage the restoration work. https://www.us-bes.com/interior-design daily 0.75 2021-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e46cdbe461c0a60cb4d2b26/1586550788258-3MWUAKBO8QOKVKKC73YB/interior+design Interior Design In collaboration with an interior designer an addition was constructed to create a large family room off the side of the home.
