Water Instrusion Thru Sheer Walls In High Rises

A common phenomenon especially in older buildings on Miami Beach is the water intrusion thru small hairline cracks in the large sheer windowless walls. These walls are made up of slab, cmu block, and a beam covered by stucco on every floor. At the block to beam intersection usually from building movement a small hairline crack will open up in the stucco. Once water gets into that crack and behind the stucco it will travel down the wall and escape from the path of least resistance. In many cases this is a void in the intersection between the block and the beam letting water intrude into the unit behind the wall. In some cases it does not make it into the unit it just travels down the block slowly delaminating the stucco down the wall. These types of issues are often the most overlooked by Paint Contractors doing a rush paint job. What seperates a good paint job from a bad one as most people know is the preparation. Simply appyling some patching compound and repainting will hold this crack for a while but it will eventually fail and repeat the process of deterioration all over again. The proper repair for this crack is to rout out the entire crack using a mechanical grinder. This leaves a void in the wall which will acceppt a good quality polyurethane sealant. The patching compound is then applied over the sealant joint. This allows for the expansion and contraction of the joint without re-opening.

Pro-Max recently completed the emergency repairs of various sheer walls throughout the 401 Blue property. Many units had severe water intrusion attributed to hairline cracks in sheer walls. The repair described above was implemented and all of the units have been waterproofed.

Work Place Safety

Job site safety contrary to this video is no laughing matter. At Pro-Max we take safety very seriously. Pro-Max regularly consults OSHA to perform courtesy inspections at our job sites and all of our high-rise employees are regulary ceritified in swing-stage scaffolding safety. Safety is expensive. This unfortunately is the reason most “fly by night” Contractors neglect this aspect of each project so often. If you are hiring a Contractor because they are the most economic price keep in mind you may be compromising everyone’s safety. The lowest price isn’t always un-safe but keep an eye out for a Contractor with a price un-explainably lower than everyone elses. He/She is usually cutting corners and one place that know one can afford to cut is Safety. At Pro-Max we hold weekly meetings on different topics regarding job site safety on every project. Our company policy requires every employee to read and sign an acknowledgement that he/she is familiar with OSHA regulations. If you are considering hiring a Contractor for your project make sure they have a current safetly plan and are familiar with all of the OSHA regulations applicable to the work they are performing for you. If they are not an inury or possibly death will not be a laughing matter.

Electrostatic Metal Re-Finishing

Pro-Max Restoration and Paint Corp offers many different types of specialized coating services to the hospitality, condominium, rental, and commercial real estate industries. Electrostatic metal refinishing is the process by which specialized equipment atomizes paint into a very fine mist and electric currents are used to attract the paint material to the surface that is being coated. This process will produce a “factory finish” comparable to brand new metal windows or doors. This is a superior finish perfect for railings, fences, windows, and doors in areas that require that “factory finished” look.

Here at Venetian Isles in Miami, Florida we are applying a Urethane to all of the entrance gates and over 1500′ of metal perimeter fences:
