Serious structural and water damage can be caused by faulty installation of windows and doors.If the windows and doors in your building are leaking water, you have considerable cause for concern. Leaky windows and doors can be the result of faulty installation, defective windows and doors, or poor product design. Whatever the case may be, water leaks can be an indicator of excessive water damage occurring inside your building envelope.
When our experts at The Aerial Companies, Inc. are contracted to assess the damage caused by leaking windows and doors, they often discover problems that are not readily seen by the casual observer. As happens so often in these cases, the windows, doors, and buck assemblies (the wooden frames that provide the rough openings for the windows and doors), have incurred substantial structural damage due to the long term, insidious water leaks from, and around, the windows and doors. This is not good.
The windows and doors are a critical element in the ability of the exterior building envelope to repel all types of weather. Unfortunately, in severe situations such as these, our experienced technicians are often left with no choice but to remove and replace the existing window and door assemblies.
In a case of excessive internal water damage, we re-build the buck assemblies correctly to meet engineering requirements. After the buck rebuild and correct installation of windows and doors, our experts waterproof the openings, and finally test the installations. Without following all these necessary steps, the window and door installations could easily fail again…costing the owner even more grief and expense.
