Project Summary: This 1980s era, the low-income housing complex in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market had been experiencing infiltration and degradation problems since shortly after its construction.
Exterior envelope systems experiencing problems included sub-grade concrete walls, brick veneer and thin-brick wall claddings, wood-framed and steel-sash windows, waterproof decks, and modified bitumen low-slope roofs.
PL: BECS Services: PL: BECS was retained to perform a complete evaluation of the existing building’s exterior envelope components, and provide corrective recommendations.
The evaluation revealed that numerous design and installation flaws were causing widespread and severe infiltration and degradation problems.
Problems affecting the brick veneer cladding included inadequate securement, absence of through-wall flashings, absence of vertical and horizontal expansion joints, absence of code-required horizontal reinforcing, as well as many ill-conceived, leak-prone details. These deficiencies compromised the structural integrity of the masonry cladding, caused widespread leakage into many units, and doomed the cladding’s longer-term survival.
History of the Building
The building that now serves as Pike Place Stewart House was originally built as a storehouse in 1907. In 1911, the building was purchased by the Stewart family, who converted it into a hotel. The hotel was named after the Stewart family, prominent Seattle merchants.
