Proof

before/after photos + cure confirmation + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm with the resident how this building's exterior is currently maintained, then photograph the crack as found.
2. 2. Clean loose debris and old failed sealant out of the crack by hand.
3. 3. Apply an appropriate exterior patch and sealant to the cleaned crack, following the product's own cure guidance.
4. 4. Photograph the finished, sealed patch from the same vantage as the before photo once cured.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the crack as found
• Cleaned-crack photo before patching
• Sealed-patch after photo from the matching vantage
• Confirmation that the patch is fully cured and closed before the job is marked complete

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Weatherization Readiness. Weatherization readiness is the survey that turns a cold, expensive-to-heat home into a fundable plan. Following the Department of Energy's program, the surveyor maps where the house leaks air, which attics and walls lack insulation, what fresh-air path must follow the tightening, and which safety checks must clear first. Mastery looks like a walkthrough that ends with a package a weatherization crew can price without a second visit. This packet is one piece of one such survey, done carefully and written down, so a real family's real house gets closer to warm.
