Wrong - Lack of a weather-resistant barrier allowed water to get behind the siding and rot the framing in this corner rim joist area.
Image
Wrong - Lack of house wrap or weather resistant barrier lead to significant water damage behind the brick veneer.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Self-adhered house wrap is poorly installed with many bubbles and gaps at seams.
Image
Wrong - Self-adhered house wrap is underlapped instead of overlapped which will allow rain water to get behind house wrap.

Image
Wrong - The gutter is missing kick-out flashing causing wall and window damage beneath it.
Image
Wrong - The roof insulation panels for this building were not installed in multiple layers with joints offset. The snow melt pattern shows thermal bypasses at the insulation panel joints.
Image
Wrong - The siding on the chimney is rotten because there is no metal step flashing at the base of the chimney.
Image
Wrong - The sump pump alone cannot address the water infiltration issues in this crawlspace.
Image
Image
Wrong - The upper edge of the below-grade dimpled plastic rain mat is pulling away from the wall and is no longer tucked under the protective metal flashing so rain water can get behind the plastic mat and wet the foundation wall.
Image
Wrong - The window lying on the ground was protected by a shutter but the shutter was attached to the window frame, rather than directly to the wall framing.
Image
Image
Wrong - There is no step flashing along the base of the gable and the right window is missing sill trim.
Image
Image
Wrong - This surface downspout run-out is directed toward the foundation instead of away from it.
Image
Wrong - Trees are overhanging and touching the roof and debris has collected in the gutters.
Image
Wrong - Utility trim was substituted for the starter strip and the bottom lock was cut off this vinyl siding so the siding pulled loose under wind pressure.
Image
Wrong - Wall is missing step and kick-out flashing which has allowed water to rot the wood corner trim.
Image
Wrong - Water has gotten behind the paint, possibly due to lack of window flashing, leading to blistering.
Image
Wrong - Water has leaked into the window assembly and has not been able to drain out, possibly due to blocked weep holes; thus, mold and moss are growing in the window assembly.
Image
Wrong - Window is missing pan flashing under sill and tape flashing at jamb end sill.
Image
Wrong - Wiring holes are not sealed and possible missing flashing around windows is allowing water into walls and causing paint to peel.
Image
Wrong -The top of the sump pump crock is too high above the crawlspace grade level for any water in the crawl to enter the sump.
Image
Wrong – A poorly sealed window and window well allow bulk water to enter the crawlspace from ground that slopes toward the structure
Image
Wrong – Building materials are being stored outdoors with no protection from weather
Image
Image
Wrong – Drain pipe has been cut and foundation penetration has not been properly sealed
Image
Image
Wrong – For proper detailing of vinyl around windows and other obstacles, use utility trim, punch snaplocks into siding, and do not overlap directly beneath a window.
Image
Wrong – If dimpled plastic is used it should be trimmed to drain down at the bottom rather than up where water can collect in it.
Image
Wrong – Known as a Hugel Swale, organic matter like sticks and leaves break down into compost and fill the swale full. This limits the swale’s ability to filter rainwater.
Image
Wrong – Misalignment of the tie reduces the embedment and enables the brick veneer to be pulled away.
Image
Wrong – No polyethylene sheeting vapor barrier is installed on the crawlspace floor
Image
Wrong – Polyethylene sheeting does not completely cover the aggregate and the footing
Image
Wrong – Polyethylene sheeting does not extend beyond edge of aggregate to separate the footer from the stem wall which will be poured next
Image
Wrong – Rain barrel installed without an overflow spout that terminates away from foundation
Image
Image
Image
Wrong – The clips holding these metal roofing panels were set too far from the roof eave (above red line) and the panels lifted in strong winds
Image
Wrong – The corners are not properly flashed, leaving a vulnerable area in the drainage system
Image
Image
Wrong – The drain tile is cut and now does not extend around the entire foundation footing
Image
Wrong – The drain tile is not installed to terminate properly and will not transport water to the exterior
Image
Wrong – The drain tile is not wrapped in fabric and could become clogged with debris
Image
Image
Wrong – The footing drain pipe should end at least 10 feet from the foundation if above ground or should drain into a drywell or storm sewer.
Image
Wrong – The gravel surrounding the drain tile is too large and will let too much debris through
Image
Wrong – The insulated concrete forms at the foundation do not have a damp-proof coating
Image
Image
Wrong – The polyethylene sheeting vapor barrier is not attached to the piers with mechanical fasteners
Image
Wrong – The ridge flashing fasteners were placed too far apart and did not adequately hold the flashing in place
Image
Wrong – The rigid sheathing seams are not taped and the gaps could cause moisture problems
Image
Image
Image
Image
Wrong – The underside of the first course of siding extends beyond the underlying sheathing leaving it vulnerable being pulled off by pressure from high winds.
Image
Wrong – The vapor barrier is not secured to the walls of this crawlspace.
Image
Wrong – The vinyl siding at this gable was installed over rigid foam instead of wood sheathing and neither had the structural strength to resist hurricane wind pressures.
Image
Image
Wrong – the water-resistant barrier is layered underneath the step flashing, which could allow water to get behind the step flashing and into the wall.
Image
Wrong – The water-resistant barrier is not complete and the holes and gaps could cause moisture problems
Image
Wrong – There are no gutters installed and there is not a proper gravel bed located at the foundation
Image
Wrong – There is carpet installed too close to the plumbing fixtures in the bathroom
Image

Image
Wrong – There is not a self-sealing bituminous membrane installed at the valley of the roof
Image
Wrong – There is not a water-resistant barrier installed underneath the exterior finish of the walls
Image
Wrong – These four ties were never embedded into the mortar joint, allowing the brick wall to be pulled away from the sheathing.
Image
Wrong – This brick veneer failed in high winds (107 mph) because the ties pulled out of the substrate.
Image
Wrong – This metal tie remained embedded in the mortar joint but the smooth-shank nail pulled out from the stud.
Image
Wrong – This roof has no sheathing, when the metal panels blew off there was no secondary protection
Image
Wrong – This vented crawlspace has standing water because steps were not taken to address site conditions that led to bulk water flow into the crawlspace
Image
Wrong: Closed-cell spray foam roof insulation was not thick enough to meet IRC levels so the foam surface is colder than the dew point of the interior air and condensation formed on surface of the foam
