Protection of Gables and Party Walls

In typical Medellin row houses, gables (high side walls) are often exposed directly to wind and rain. If this wall is not protected, your home will suffer moisture issues even if the roof is perfect.

Why does water leak through the gable?

Side walls receive the direct hit of lateral rain. The material becomes saturated and water crosses the wall through porosity, wetting the interior of your rooms.
