Architectural Detailing - Edward Allen, Patrick Rand
Controlling water leakage is of primary importance in building design. According to Architectural Detailing, three conditions must be present in any building situation in order for a building to have water leakage. 1) Water must be present. 2) A hole in the building assembly must be present. 3) A force to push water through the hole must be present. Eliminating any one of the mentioned conditions will eliminate the leakage.
