Level 13 Properties Owner and General Contractor, Rich Hoagland, knows a thing or two about building masonry buildings in Chicago, as well as installing WickRight Passive Ventilation. "When we build masonry buildings in Chicago, we try to build them with the idea that we know that moisture is gonna get into them and we give it a clear way to get out," Hoagland says. Hoagland's team installed WickRight passive ventilation on a fairly new (15-20 year old) high-end custom single family home in Lincoln Park that was built by one of the best homebuilders in Chicago at the time. This home had massive condensation and moisture issues not only in the roof cavity but also in the masonry cavity. Hoagland explained how WickRight works to the architect and the architect specified WickRight for installation on the parapet and along the low-slope roof. A year later, the building was dry. Per Hoagland, he's had zero issues or callbacks related to installing WickRight vented flashing products.
