Flashing must collect water that enters the wall, control its movement, and discharge it out of the wall. Proper flashing requires considering how water moves via gravity, kinetic energy, surface tension, capillary action, air currents, and differential pressure. Effective flashing results from understanding how water behaves rather than just following prescriptive rules, as water can find unintended paths.

This report summarizes an inspection of a property in James Island, SC that was experiencing ongoing moisture issues in the crawl space. The inspection found numerous deficiencies contributing to water intrusion, including inadequate flashing, grading, drainage, roof ventilation and moisture barriers. Testing found elevated moisture levels throughout the structure. The report concludes all deficiencies must be remediated and provides a scope of work and cost estimate to repair grading, foundations, roofing, interiors and install new drainage systems.
This report summarizes an investigation of water infiltration and damage issues at a property in Isle of Palms, SC. The inspection found numerous deficiencies in the installation of the stucco exterior cladding system that have allowed extensive water ingress, resulting in severe damage. Specifically, flashing was improperly installed or missing at openings, transitions, and intersections in violation of building codes. Additionally, sealant was omitted at joints between dissimilar materials. As a result, water has penetrated and contaminated underlying building materials. The report recommends removing and replacing the entire exterior cladding and remediating all contaminated interior building materials.
The document provides a report on a building envelope investigation conducted at 3 Cross Lane in Isle of Palms, SC. The investigation found extensive water damage and termite infestation due to improper construction that failed to comply with building codes. Specifically, flashing and sealant were missing around windows, doors, and at floorlines. Additionally, over 15 violations of stucco application standards were found. As a result of the deficiencies, water has penetrated the building envelope, contaminating materials. The entire exterior cladding must be removed and replaced, and contaminated interior materials removed. A scope of work and cost of $284,786 are provided to remediate all issues.
This report summarizes the completion of stucco installation on a guest house and main residence. PVC accessories and lath were installed on all walls and arches according to standards. A soft adobe texture was applied. While most areas were completed as planned, the front entry arches required remediation due to framing issues. Proper sealing is still needed at interfaces between materials to prevent water intrusion. Photographs document the process and completed work.
