ABSTRACT:
Water damage to buildings which will use masonry cavity wall construction is prevented by placement of a masonry holding fluid conducting medium between the wythes of a masonry cavity wall during construction. The air space of a masonry cavity wall is substantially filled with fluid conducting medium such as a coarse polymer mesh which will hold masonry and prevent construction debris from entering the cavity air space while allowing air and water to flow with minimal resistance. Reliable drainage of moisture from the air space is assured because cavity wall drains or weeps will not become obstructed either during or after wall erection because the potential obstructions are excluded from the cavity air space by the fluid conducting medium. By assuring that the cavity wall air space and weeps do not become obstructed, potentially severe water damage is prevented. Mortar usage will be reduced and productivity increased by use of the mortar holding fluid conducting medium system disclosed by the inventor.
