Window Leak Repair
Window Leak Repair & Estimates for Fairfax and Northern Virgina
Water can be very sneaky. Just because a leak appears around a window doesn’t mean that’s where it starting from. It often turns out to be quite a puzzle that requires you to work your way “upstream” to find the source. Sometimes the leak could start from the highest point of your roof without showing any leakage anywhere in between.
Window leaks from Wind Driven Rains
If your window leaks, wind driven rain and moisture can enter through cracks and unsealed joints. Condensation builds up ad creates moisture on and in between double pane glass. Drafts can increase the cost of your electric bills by allowing warm air to escape or enter your home around the windows. If water enters these cracks, it can cause water damage, leading to expensive repairs. • Check the caulking around the window. • Check all windows and penetrations on the exterior wall that is directly above the leaking window for cracks / missing caulking or fractures to the window sill above. • Seal all cracks and holes in the siding or brick above the problem window.
