Short and intermediate targets were met because all testing allowed us to duplicate original materials. The replacement bricks blend and match in such a manner as that they are indistinguishable. Long term, results will have to wait for the next sever storm to determine that all leakage has been arrested but we are extremely confident. By following through with the additional replacement of brick, we are sure the wall seepage has been stopped.
