3. Diversion
Diversion actually redirects the water being
forced against the building and diverts it before it
infiltrates the substrate.
Diversion techniques include sloping of roofs,
decks and balconies; vertical drainage mats,
gutters and downspouts, flashings, windscreens,
French drains, etc.
Building facades usually contain combinations
of these three systems; each preventing water
infiltration at their locations.
However, if they are not properly transitioned
into other components, leakage will occur.
