Wood-Frame Strata Rot Repair

Find the Damage. Repair the Cause. Restore the Building.

Wood-frame buildings are particularly vulnerable to moisture intrusion when exterior cladding, flashing, sealants, windows or other envelope components begin to fail.

What may appear to be a small area of staining, bubbling paint or deteriorated siding can sometimes indicate moisture damage behind the exterior finish.

NorthStrata specializes in localized building-envelope repairs designed to address the affected area while minimizing unnecessary disruption to the surrounding building.

Our work can include:

• Window and window-to-wall rot repairs
• Exterior wall rot repair
• Damaged wood framing replacement
• Sheathing replacement
• Siding and cladding removal and replacement
• Flashing repairs and replacement
• Sealant and joint repairs
• Moisture-intrusion repairs
• Building-envelope waterproofing
• Insulation replacement where required
• Air-barrier and weather-barrier repairs
• Interior drywall and finish restoration
• Painting and interior make-good
• Coordination with building-envelope consultants and engineers

Window Rot Repair

Localized Repairs Around Failed or Leaking Windows

Windows are one of the most common areas where moisture can enter a wood-frame building.

Failed sealants, deteriorated flashing, improper transitions or aging window assemblies can allow water to reach the wall assembly and surrounding wood framing.

NorthStrata can investigate and repair localized damage around windows, including:

Window-to-Wall Interfaces

We repair damaged areas where windows connect to the surrounding wall assembly, addressing deteriorated materials and restoring appropriate weatherproofing and flashing details.

Rotten Wood Framing

Where moisture has damaged wood components, affected materials can be removed and replaced as required.

Flashing & Waterproofing

Proper flashing and waterproofing details are critical to directing water away from the wall assembly and preventing recurring damage.

Exterior Finishes

After the underlying repair is completed, siding, trim, cladding and other exterior finishes can be reinstated to provide a complete repair.

Wood-Frame Wall Rot Repair

Repairing Moisture-Damaged Wall Assemblies

Wall rot can develop when water penetrates behind siding or other exterior cladding and remains trapped within the wall assembly.

Depending on the condition of the building, localized wall repairs may involve opening the exterior assembly to determine the extent of damage.

Our repair scope may include:

1. Localized investigation

   Identify the visible damage and investigate the surrounding assembly.

2. Removal of damaged materials

   Remove deteriorated siding, trim, sheathing and other affected materials as required.

3. Wood framing repair

   Replace or repair damaged wood components where necessary.

4. Envelope restoration

   Reinstate appropriate weather protection, flashing, membranes and related components.

5. Exterior reconstruction

   Replace siding, trim, cladding and other exterior finishes.

6. Interior make-good

   Where the repair has affected the inside of the unit, restore drywall, insulation, trim and finishes as required.
