Remediated water-damage to a structure

Abstract

A method of remediating a water-damaged masonry structure without removing any masonry from the building, and simultaneously providing water proofing to the structure. The method involves installing a parging coat of a reliner to the pest control wire over cleaned weep holes in masonry and to a water damaged interior portions of an installed masonry exterior wall. The reliner is cured. The method involves caulking a sill plate with gasket to a foundation of the water damaged masonry structure with a silicon sealant after installing the reliner. Next each wag panel is connected to the water damaged studs forming a continuous seamless structure in the remediated structure that prevents water incursion into the structure after remediation of at least 95% and without removing the masonry.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A remediated water-damaged masonry structure having a foundation supporting an remediated outer wall and a remediated inner wall wherein zero masonry has been removed from, the remediated water-damaged masonry structure comprising:
 a. an installed masonry exterior wall comprising;
 i. water damaged interior portions of an installed masonry exterior wall studs and wall board; 
 ii. at least one beam on the water damaged interior portions of the installed masonry exterior wall to transfer load from the water damaged interior portions of the installed masonry exterior wall to the beam; 
 iii. construction materials of the water damaged interior portions, wherein the construction materials of the water damaged interior portions of the installed masonry exterior wall are cut out from 1 foot above the dry height to the foundation; 
 iv. a masonry ledge and plurality of weep holes, wherein;
 (a) the masonry ledge and plurality of weep holes are cleared of the water damaged interior portions of the installed masonry exterior wall an inner surface of a water damaged outer wall portion to remove unwanted construction materials; 
 (b) the masonry ledge and the foundation are chemically etched to a predetermined width and to the dry height forming an etched inner surface and an etched foundation; 
 
 v. a pest control wire disposed over at least one of said weep holes; 
 vi. a reliner, wherein the reliner is applied to the etched inner surface and over the pest control wire; 
 vii. a parging coat, wherein the parging coat is applied to the applied reliner; 
 viii. a curing agent, wherein the curing agent is applied on the parging coat; 
 ix. a cover to trap moisture in the curing agent using, the cover configured to prevent oxidation of the parging coat and allow proper cure of the parging coat preventing cracking forming a cured reliner; 
 x. an isolation membrane, wherein the isolation membrane is painted on the curing agent and on the foundation; 
 xi. a sill plate, a wag panel, house wrap, and studs, installed to rebuild the water damaged interior portions of the installed, masonry exterior wall thereby creating a dry area between the wag panel and the isolation membrane, wherein:
 (a) the wag panel extends 0.5 inches to 1 inch below the sill plate eliminating growth of mold, fungus, and dampness in the interior portions of the Installed masonry exterior wall; 
 (b) the sill plate is caulked with a silicon sealant connecting the sill plate to the foundation; and 
 (c) the wag panel is connected to the studs and the sill plate; 
 
 xii. a closed cell foam, wherein the closed cell foam is installed over the wag panels forming a continuous seamless remediated inner wall that prevents at least 95% water incursion into the masonry structure after remediation; and 
 xiii. sheet rock, wherein the sheet rock is installed over the closed cell foam; 
   wherein zero masonry has been removed from the remediated water-damaged masonry building, having a foundation supporting a remediated outer wall and a remediated inner wall.   
     
     
         2 . The remediated water-damaged masonry structure of  claim 1 , wherein the masonry structure comprises structures from individual units, which are laid in and bound together by mortar. 
     
     
         3 . The remediated water-damaged masonry structure of  claim 2 , wherein the individual units comprise: a member of the group consisting of: brick, building stone, concrete block, glass block, and cob. 
     
     
         4 . The remediated water-damaged masonry structure of  claim 3 , wherein the building stone is selected from tire group consisting of: marble, granite, travertine, and limestone. 
     
     
         5 . The remediated water-damaged masonry structure of  claim 1 , a rotary hammer and chisel is used to remove mortar and the construction material from the water damaged interior portions of the installed masonry exterior wall. 
     
     
         6 . The remediated water-damaged masonry structure of  claim 1 , wherein the chemically etching materials are washed off the installed masonry exterior wall and foundation prior to installing the parging coat while the masonry remains wet. 
     
     
         7 . The remediated water-damaged masonry structure of  claim 1 , wherein the masonry ledge and plurality of weep holes are cleared using cleaning by drilling. 
     
     
         8 . The remediated water-damaged masonry structure of  claim 1 , wherein hurricane ties are installed from the plurality of studs to the sill plate and from the plurality of studs to at least one of: a top plate and a roof rafter. 
     
     
         9 . The remediated water-damaged masonry structure of  claim 1 , wherein the construction materials include at least one member of the group consisting of: framing materials, electrical components, and plumbing components. 
     
     
         10 . The remediated water-damaged masonry structure of  claim 1 , wherein the beam is removed after the wag panel is connected to the studs and the sill plate.
