This paper presents the diagnostic work undertaken to determine the cause of failing coating and spalling block on the exterior of a commercial building in northern Illinois. The field assessment methods used to diagnose the problems including non-destructive and destructive methods for determining moisture content in the masonry, infrared thermography, and visual assessments are described. Modeling using WUFI® is also presented. WUFI® was used as an aid in establishing the cause of the failures and in determining whether the existing coating system, by virtue of permeance, should be overcoated or removed and replaced.

Industrial and marine protective coating systems are most commonly applied without incident and perform as expected over their anticipated service life. However, occasionally, a coating system will fail prematurely, for unexpected reasons, and with expensive consequences. This paper addresses those unexpected failures and provides reasons and remedies for such occurrences.
