THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WATER DAMAGE IS ALLOWED TO KEEP WORKING BEHIND THE WALLS.
What started as a water-intrusion problem turned into a major structural repair.
Once this wall was opened up, the real damage became visible: deteriorated framing, compromised structural lumber, moisture damage, and sections that could no longer be trusted to properly support the home and exterior structure.
This isn’t a cosmetic repair.
We temporarily supported the structure before demolition, removed the damaged materials, exposed the affected framing, and began rebuilding the wall correctly with new pressure-treated lumber, structural support, sheathing, house wrap, and proper exterior protection.
This is why you don’t ignore water stains, soft wood, leaking walls, rotted rim joists, or moisture around a deck and foundation.
By the time you can SEE significant wood rot, the damage behind the finished wall can already be extensive.
