Observation: Exterior walls leak because of inadequate caulking.
Performance Standard: Joints and cracks in exterior wall surfaces and around openings shall be properly caulked to exclude the entry of water.
Corrective Measure: The remodeler will repair or caulk joints and cracks in exterior wall surfaces, as required to correct deficiencies, one time only during the warranty period. Even when properly installed, caulking will shrink and must be maintained by the owner.
