🏗️ Project Spotlight: Parapet Wall Reconstruction and Flashing Installation In our latest project, a key component was the reconstruction of the parapet wall, essential for both safety and compliance. Alongside this, the base flashing between the roof and the wall—a crucial defense against water penetration. 🔍 Why Parapet Walls Matter: Water Damage Prevention: Proper installation of base flashing is critical to divert water away from the building, thus preventing moisture penetration that can lead to structural issues. NYC Code Compliance: According to NYC code 28-301.1.1, maintaining parapet walls in safe condition through annual inspections and detailed reports is crucial for building safety and longevity.
