Don’t Let Leaks Jeopardize Your Property
Window air and water leaks can cause structural damage, damage to interior finishes and electrical components, and rust, mold, and mildew. Don’t let this happen to you. Because a leak may take weeks to reveal, routine maintenance or a maintenance program is the best way to prevent costly repairs or replacements.
Air Leakage (Infiltration)
Infiltration happens due to three factors: poor product design, poor quality control during product manufacturing, and poor construction detailing or installation. Beyond these problems, persistent air leaks also significantly decrease the thermal efficiency of the building envelope while at the same time augmenting the number of comfort complaints from building occupants.
Window Water Leaks
Water leaks at windows can be severe and cause significant damage. Fixing them is a top priority. Most window leaks that occur at the upper part of a window are usually coming from the window, gutter, or skylight above. Leaks occurring at the bottom of a window may be a result of clogged weep holes or poor caulking (on a replacement window).
Repair or Replace?
If the windows are in a maintenance program or if they are new, most of the identified abnormalities can be corrected through routine maintenance or parts replacement.
If the facilities are particularly old or no maintenance program has been in effect, then some structural repairs will be required.
When the number of windows needing structural repairs is larger than 15 or 20 percent of the total, replacements are more convenient.
