Window leaks can happen for a number of reasons. Window leaks are usually due to poorly installed windows or windows that have worn parts causing a breakdown of sealing components. If your windows are leaking, you have a significant problem. Window leakage can cause damage to your home, including mould and mildew growth, wood rot, or even foundation problems. If you notice water around your windows after it rains, you should consider looking for a waterproofing specialist. Here at SWC Construction, we are able to solve all your waterproofing needs. Here are the few common causes of a window leak.
Bad Window Sealant
If the window sealant around your window has cracks or gaps, it makes them significantly less efficient than they were before. Therefore, once you start noticing water seeping through, do not hesitate to call for a waterproofing specialist to have your windows checked and fixed!
Wall Leaks
It is also possible that your window leaks are caused by a leak in the walls. If you notice stains on the top part of your window frame, chances are the leak is due to a leak in your walls. Have your walls inspected by a trusted waterproofing specialist for voids or cracks.
