Where's your thermal of that wall?
LOL! I know! I wanted desperately to drag it out, but that was not in the scope for this job.
Ah, Efflorescence! See it a lot around here especially in basements. Looks like some moisture is getting into the wall. Was it a roofing, parapet wall or flashing issue? Enquiring minds want to know!
Yes!
But more flashing and wall issue than anything in this instance. The signs/indications traveled three stories from the roof line to the slab
Now that is just too damn hilarious.....Yes!

Good lord Pete....you got Bill beat in the water intrusion department......
That was actually an easy inspection. Replace everything. Two word report, LOL
Nice photos Peter! You definitely got me beat!
I find many clients (and often many contractors) have a hard time comprehending moisture concerns in block walls for some reason. I guess they feel it is impervious...

I find the same thing here Bill. I actually had a seller want to argue that it was old damage, he had a fresh coat of paint on the outside of the building and he knew there was no way water was coming through it, which was quickly and easily dispelled with the shot of a thermal camera backed up with a moisture meter.
I inspected a garage a few days ago which had masonry block issues....cinderblock walls, with a split-faced block above the foundation, for aesthetics I assume...anyway...using the TI camera it was easy to see the moisture in the blocks after all the rain we had a few weeks ago. Apparently the walls were never waterproofed. There was mucho water below windows.

Nice images Dale!
Great thermals, starting to get some use out of the camera, now you have to find a different paper weight.
Poor delta...but everyone understood the gist of it....
Pete...did you end up purchasing the FLIR Cam?
Nice images Dale, yes I got my T-420, love it!!
Great shots Dale!
Bet you if there is moisture barrier on the outside it is over the bottom flange of the windows, especially if it haplens to be from the miracles of science and white.
