Existing semi-open structure, looking at a brick wall that is continuous with cast-in-place stairs abutting it. The stairs are exposed to weather, but the owner wants to use the space under them for dry storage. Anyone have any clever ideas for waterproofing that joint apart from a fillet of silicone that gets replaced every 6 months? Whatever the solution is, we can't damage the brick as it's publicly accessible and looks matter. The bricks are of an odd size and replacement is very difficult. So I've shied away from grinding out the edge to recess a sealant.
Sika has a their SikaSwell S-2 sealant, but it seems to require encasement in concrete to work.
It may require a call to Sika to see if they have any brilliant ideas, but thought I'd check here first.
Thanks.
